Fellow fantasy author Mark Lawrence
is going to be
holding a raffle on June 21st. The prize? No less than the original manuscript for
Emperor of Thorns, the third novel in his brilliant
The Broken Empire series! That's right - you have the chance to read what will no doubt be one of the year's defining epic fantasy novels 6 weeks earlier than everyone else. To enter,
simply make a donation to the Children's Hospices South West, an incredibly worthy charity that runs hospices for terminally ill and life-limited children.
Prizes also include signed 1st-edition copies of
Prince of Thorns and
King of Thorns, as well as the rather neat mug pictured above.
Head on over to Mark's blog to see how you can help raise money for sick children and potentially win the book that might,
just might, end up being the second-best fantasy novel of the year.
What's that you say? Abercrombie doesn't have anything lined up for 2013? All right then, make that first-best. Hopefully The Grim Company will crawl in somewhere inside the top 10...

ReplyDeleteHi,just finished reading The Grim Company and loved it!I wanted to ask if you could give a tentative date regarding the publication of Book 2.
Also,i noticed that the 2nd book is titled "Sword of the North",does that mean it will only feature Brodar Kayne and The Wolf? What about the other characters from book 1,especially Davarus Cole and Sasha ?
Hi Jon,
ReplyDeleteNo firm date yet, I'm afraid. I have to finish the book first, and that's a long way off. I'd guess the UK release will be sometime in the first half of 2014.
The sequel will deal with all the characters in the first book (those that survived...).
