Announcing ‘The Perfect Host,’ the Fifth Book in Trae Dorn’s Mia Graves Saga

Nerd & Tie is excited to announce that The Perfect Host, the fifth book in Trae Dorn’s Mia Graves Saga, is coming out on August 10th, 2026! Like the previous entries in the series, you can pre-order the eBook on Kindle. Pre-orders for the paperback can also be made from Amazon or any retailer with the ISBN 9798295897726 (like Bookshop.org or Barnes & Noble).

Sometimes the demons in your past are literal.

When Th’xi’niran tried to claim Mia Graves as his vessel, Sarah Masters lost half of her soul saving the young witch. Now it’s three years later, and Mia and Sarah have gone their separate ways, each doing their best to heal. Mia has taken a job managing a local witchy bookstore in the quaint college town of Parrish Mills, and has built a new life for herself. She has friends, stability, and almost everything she was missing back in Boston.

But no one can truly escape their past, especially not Mia Graves.

When Sarah arrives in town to tell Mia that a cult of Th’xi’niran worshipers has found her, Mia’s world falls into chaos. The demon’s followers intend to complete the act that failed in that dark warehouse. They plan on making Mia the demon’s permanent host in our world, and they’re going to do it soon. With the emotional and spiritual scars still fresh, Mia must gather what allies she can to stop the oncoming darkness before it’s too late.

Besides Kindle and Kobo, the eBook will be available through Trae’s Patreon store come August. We’re really excited for you guys to read this one, and we think you’ll enjoy it. And, of course, remember that you can catch up on the rest of the books in the meanwhile if you want to get started on the series.
