It gives us immense pleasure to announce that we have signed Hugo-Award Winning author Harry Turtledove to publish his epic fantasy novel, CITY IN CHAINS.
It’s an epic fantasy novel set in a city that is reminiscent of occupied Paris in World War II, capturing the desperate mood of trapped people and their use of magic to try to make life tolerable among occupation by a Gestapo-like force. The protagonist must make the terrible choice between collaboration with the occupiers, or probable execution. As battle-dragons roar through the air and resistance fighters plant destructive magical spells, the war ends in a climactic battle, and the collaborators face an uncertain future.
We expect to release City in Chains in mid-to-late 2024 and can’t wait for readers to experience this master storyteller!
