TWO-BOOK ITALIAN RIGHTS DEAL FOR THE BOUND AND THE BROKEN SERIES BY BESTSELLING SELF-PUBLISHED FANTASY AUTHOR RYAN CAHILL
Fanucci has acquired Italian rights to the first two volumes of The Bound and the Broken fantasy series, which has sold over 110,000 copies since publication of the first volume in 2021, by hugely successful and award-winning self-published author Ryan Cahill: OF BLOOD AND FIRE and OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT. The agent was Maura Solinas of Piergiorgio Nicolazzini Literary Agency (PNLA), representing the John Jarrold Literary Agency.
Born in fire. Tempered in blood.
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.
In the remote villages of southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.
But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.
There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold.
He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
