Priyanka Krishnan at Orbit and Jenni Hill at Orbit UK have acquired, in a six-figure, three-book, pre-empt deal, Tonight, I Burn, the first in a trilogy by Katharine J. Adams, in which a thorn witch who burns each night to travel between the realms of life and death makes a desperate pact to try and save her sister’s life, while navigating a dangerous romance with an ethereal prophecy weaver in one realm and a mysterious lord in the other, and gets drawn into a magical rebellion that could destroy her coven and unravel her soul. Ernie Chiara at Fuse Literary brokered the deal for world English rights with ANZ rights going to Kate Stephenson at Moa Press New Zealand and Jeanmarie Morosin at Hachette Australia.
Publication of the trilogy is set for fall ’23, fall ’24, and fall ’25.
