I’m still without a solid release date and really, I don’t mind. It’s far worse to rush out a book than to take your time. I saw a post on a subreddit a moment ago claiming that the unofficial translation group he’s supposedly linked to has heard that it will be released by year’s end, but these sorts of rumors pop up left and right, and almost always, they’re incorrect. With his previous work having a gap of more than a year between the announcement of a volume and its release, this radio silence doesn’t worry me in the least. I hope he’s devoting sufficient time to really tying the plot into a tight bow, just as he did with the truly fascinating tarot club gatherings of the first volume. We’ll know when it’s good to read.

I’m excited you asked about this — short version: you probably can’t legally snag a free PDF of 'The Secret of Secrets' unless your library makes it available to borrow. Dan Brown’s book was published in 2025 by Doubleday and is sold as a new hardcover, ebook, and audio release, so it’s under normal copyright protection like any recent bestseller. That said, there are perfectly legal, zero-cost ways to read it if you don’t want to buy. Public libraries often carry hot new titles as physical copies, and many also offer ebook lending through services like Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla — you sign in with your library card and borrow for a couple of weeks, no pirates required. OverDrive/Libby supports browser reading, EPUB/PDF downloads, and even Kindle delivery for U.S. patrons. I usually wait for my library hold and feel guilty for the first five minutes, then totally nerd out when I finally get my hands on the book — nothing beats reading a new Dan Brown on a rainy afternoon.

I used Moon Reader and Lithium apps to import EPUBs from certain forums for “Lord of the Truth”. These apps don’t really read in the classical sense but actually act like real books. Clean formatting and all sorts of text adjustment options. As for sourcing EPUBs though, that’s pretty much all gray area. But once you got it, the reading experience itself is top-notch, which is why I end up reading most of my web-serials this way.

These platforms often host original work of light novel style. Often there is content that mimics the Japanese light novel scene, and can be downloaded as EPUBs through the platforms, such as ScribbleHub and Wattpad.
Publishers offer free EPUB versions of licensed light novels in their newsletters. For example, free versions of light novels are listed in the events section of “Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!”.

There are so many unexplored parts of the world-building for the Attack on Titan universe. The Western Continent has been a closed-off (and somewhat distinct) area since the early days of the series. The deep history of the First Epoch (including the war between the Ancient Sun God and the rest) is, to this point, largely relegated to myth. The third book in the series of novels would be an ideal vehicle to explore these previously un-visited areas and delve into the deep history of the Attack on Titan universe, including the origins of the paths that exist between locations, and even more importantly, the true nature of the ‘Creator’ of the world. This could be told in a prequel-like fashion and integrated into the existing story, or as part of Klein’s journey to understand his enemy. The setting is so incredibly detailed and rich that there is no way that a third book would be un necesario or feel repetitive. So many mythological and historical civilizations and events await description.

For me, the most sustainable model to read is a mix of models: reading new releases borrowed from the local library, reading for free the classics available on Project Gutenberg, occasionally buying a book from your favorite author to support him/her directly, and using the author’s freebies to discover new series to follow by that author.
Each method for gaining access to ebooks has its weaknesses, and most are fragile. The site for the pirated book could get shut down at any time. Links to sites with free ebooks can become dead at any time. Ebooks can become corrupted. On the other hand, library systems and public domain projects are to be relied upon. They are funded by taxes or non-profits whose mission is to preserve and make available large numbers of books.
Support community based, long term, sustainable models of reading instead. Have the free book be a bonus on top of your regular reading from sustainable sources. That way you are building your reading habit on something solid, something that will last decades to come, and not on the mercy of some ad laden site hosted in a country where copyright laws are lax.
