Solaris Nova snaps up Scottish-inspired romantasy The Two Hungers of Prince Fierre

We are delighted to announce our first #solarisnova title for next year, The Two Hungers of Prince Fierre by Darcy Ash will be releasing January 2025!

World All Languages rights to Amy Borsuk.

Feast your eyes on the glorious art of the main characters Fierre and Aiven by @flaroh below and read on to learn more…

Darcy Ash’s THE TWO HUNGERS OF PRINCE FIERRE is a queer Scottish-inspired romantasy, combining happily-ever-after romance with a story of disordered eating and healing. Perfect for fans of Freya Marske’s THE LAST BINDING and Foz Meadows’ A STRANGE AND STUBBORN ENDURANCE.

“Prince Fierre has three big problems. He’s suffering from a mystery illness. He’s surrounded by lords who expect personal favours. And worst of all, he’s in love with his best friend, Aiven, a former farm boy and studious enforcer of rules.

With his father gravely ill, the Prince-Regent Fierre must brace himself for the responsibilities of ruling a kingdom, and navigate the politics of the noblemen who want his favours, or him. And his first act is to appoint Aiven as his Star of the Sky, right-hand to the prince. Can Fierre heal himself, deal with the noblemen snapping about his ankles, and keep his best friend at his side without losing him?”

Darcy Ash is the author of The Two Hungers of Prince Fierre. She often writes about queer relationships, illness, and characters from low-income backgrounds. She can regularly be found dreaming about travel.

Acquiring editor, Amy Borsuk: “I’m so excited to be working with Darcy Ash on this heartfelt fantasy romance. Fierre’s journey is beautiful, the passion is intense, and Aiven is the sweethearted friend everyone needs. I’m thrilled that Solaris Nova readers will get to start off their 2025 with this one!”

Author, Darcy Ash “I’m so happy to be sharing this story of romance, illness and healing with readers, and inviting them on Fierre and Aiven’s journey. My thanks to Solaris for taking this book on and loving it enough to share it with the world!”

Solaris Nova to publish Regency fantasy trilogy by Natania Barron

We’re delighted to announce the latest addition to the Solaris Nova family: Netherford Hall by Natania Barron.

The first in a brand new trilogy combining the Regency era with witchcraft, Netherford Hall is a sapphic historical fantasy in which Gentlewitch Edith Rookwood and her family return to their ancestral seat of Netherford Hall in Kent, England following a mysterious fire in their London home. It’s there Edith faces a new threat in the form of her tenant: the chaotic and lovely Poppy Brightwell.

The women can’t deny the attraction growing between them, but Edith needs to marry for money to save her new home from usurpers—and Poppy’s very soul is at risk when she discovers the bargain her parents made with a being they thought was a witch.

Netherford Hall will hit shelves in August 2024!

World All Languages Rights were acquired by David Moore from Stacey Graham at 3 Seas Literary Agency.
