As promised in the Writer’s Edit 2018 wrap-up post, we’ve got some exciting news to kick 2019 off with a bang…
We’re so excited to announce that our fantasy publishing imprint Talem Press has signed debut author, Bronwyn Eley, in a three-book deal for her young adult fantasy series, titled The Relic Trilogy!
With a background in the military, 27-year-old Bronwyn now holds a marketing role in the book industry while she works on her fiction. Relic, the first book in the Sydney-based author’s series, is slated for publication later this year.
Relic follows the story of Kaylan, a tenacious blacksmith chosen to be the personal servant of a powerful lord. It’s a deadly appointment – the lord possesses one of the rare and dangerous Relics, an item that protects his bloodline but slowly poisons anyone else in its proximity.
This three-book deal follows the success of Talem Press’ first series, The Oremere Chronicles. The Relic Trilogy continues Talem’s mission to publish ‘stories that empower’ – mysterious, magical fantasy books with a focus on female agency.
Here’s what publisher Helen Scheuerer had to say about this exciting development…
Talem has been inundated with submissions since opening its doors mid-2018, but Bronwyn’s manuscript blew us out of the water.
From the moment I opened Relic, I was hooked. It’s a gritty, fast-paced, female-driven fantasy that leaves you dying for more.
Stay tuned for more info about Relic over the coming months!
