Australian fantasy novelist Sam Hawke has inked a five figure two book deal with Tor Books.
Diana Gill, executive editor at Tor Books acquired the world rights to the two books from Julie Crisp Literary Agency.
City of Lies, an epic fantasy story, is the first novel in The Poison Wars series. “I am thrilled to publish this great epic fantasy debut as my first acquisition for Tor,” stated Gill, who recently moved to Tor from Berkley. “I was hooked on the very first sentence, and fans of Robin Hobb and Mark Lawrence will love the wonderful mix of court intrigue and murders in a besieged city-state.”
