Here’s the official Press Release:
Jonathan Oliver, commissioning editor of Solaris Books, has commissioned a new novel by Australian fantasy writer Rowena Cory Daniells. The agent is John Jarrold, and the deal is for World English Language rights. The book is due for publication at the end of 2013.
Solaris have already published Daniells’ KING ROLEN’S KIN trilogy very successfully, and are publishing her OUTCAST CHRONICLES trilogy this year. The new book, provisionally titled KING-MAKER, KING-BREAKER, will complete the story of King Rolen’s Kin.
Jonathan Oliver said: “It’s great to be working with Rowena again and I can’t wait to read this finale to her brilliant fantasy series.”
So I had better knuckle down and deliver KING-MAKERr, KING-BREAKER!
Congrats Rowena on the great news!
Great News! Can’t wait to read it! (Orrade <3
Great news – between the love triangle (quadrilateral?), a certain cousin who needs to lose his other arm (and legs), and more than just a little political/martial uncertainty back home, there’s definitely room for a solid finale.
That’s great news, Rowena, congrats! Of course they want more of your wonderful books!
Wonderful news, Rowena. Congratulations.
Happy days. Great news Rowena. No chance of a holiday for you then 🙂
Thanks, guys. I just have to get through this latest batch of marking and then I’ll be able to focus.
Brilliant! My sister gave me The King’s Bastard for my birthday, and I’m hooked! Just about to start The Usurper now, already looking forward to the fourth – though I will be sad to see it end!
Fee, I promise the ending will be big and bold and thrilling!
Wonderful news! I can hardly wait.
Thanks, Mervi. It’ll be fun to get back into Byren’s world.
Fantastic news. Congratulations Rowena!
Thanks, Eleni! Your ID photo always reminds me of a butterfly.
Thank the stars! That ending of book three was torture “But his Affinity told him otherwise” So mean haha.
LOL Jessica, by chance I happened to re-read that line today while working on KRK book 4. It was a bit mean…
Great news! Now I just have to wait patiently till 2013! Though I’m overjoyed there will be a 4th book, I thought you were aiming for a 2nd triology?!
Please please let there be lots of POV’s from Piro. I hope she finds happiness with the mage.
Hi Sarah,
Don’t worry, the 4th book is going to be a big book. Piro gets herself into a load of trouble, and with the best intentions.
Cheers, Rowena
I wish I had known there was a fourth book. I like to read series from start to finish. Oh well, they got me again… Hurry….
Hi John,
The KRK trilogy closes off one of the major narrative threads, while leaving another one open for the fourth book.
Personally, I like to read a series when I can get all the books and read them at once.
