TWO-BOOK RUSSIAN RIGHTS DEAL FOR BEN GALLEY
Andrey V Chernikov at Eksmo has acquired Russian rights to fantasy novels GRIM SOLACE and BREAKING CHAOS by award-winning self-published author Ben Galley, after their rights deal for the first book in the series, CHASING GRAVES, in 2022. The agent was Laura Karayotov of the SAS Lester Literary Agency & Associates representing the John Jarrold Literary Agency.
This bestselling series is set in an Egyptian-themed fantasy world where ghosts are bound as slaves for the rich, and being murdered is just the start of your problems. Chasing Graves is perfect for fans of grimdark, and dark fantasy mixed with razor wit.
