Russian Rights Deal For Richard Ford Novels
Sarah Harvey, Rights Manager at Hodder Headline, has sold Russian rights in fantasy novels Herald of the Storm and The Shattered Crown by Richard Ford to Fantastika.
World rights in the STEELHAVEN trilogy were acquired pre-emptively by John Wordsworth of Headline from agent John Jarrold for a high five-figure sum in pounds sterling, and rights have already been sold in a number of European markets. The first volume, Herald of the Storm, was first published in the UK in April 2013, with paperback publication following in August 2013, and it has received superb reviews. The sequel, The Shattered Crown, was published in 2014 and the final volume of the trilogy, Lord of Ashes, follows in May 2015.
