Second Sky is delighted to announce the acquisition of a new dark fantasy romance series by USA Today bestseller Kathryn Ann Kingsley.
Jack Renninson, Consultant Associate Publisher, acquired World All Languages rights, including film and TV, directly from the author.
Set in a fantasy city ruled by vampire crime families, the new series tells the story of an assassin seeking revenge on the mafia boss who murdered her family. When she discovers that he’s marrying a woman he has never met, she steals the bride’s identity and takes her place… only to find herself falling for her most hated enemy.
Book One, The Serpent’s Bride, is set to publish in August 2025.
Jack says,
‘I am so excited to be working with Kat on her most addictive and darkly delicious series yet. The Serpent’s Bride is a mesmerizing combination of mafia romance and vampire romance that locks two lifelong enemies in an arranged marriage and a passion they cannot resist. It will have you transfixed from the first bloody page to the last.’
Kat says,
‘I cannot tell you how excited I am to be bringing you Raziel & Nadi’s story. This has become one of my favorite series I’ve ever written, and I quickly fell in love with these two beautifully broken individuals. The dark romantasy love story between a vampiric mafia lord and the fae assassin who has vowed to kill him really came to life working with Jack and Second Sky, and I’m excited to work with them again on what I believe is a story unlike anything else.’
