Tiny Tree Children's Books enters YA market with 'epic' saga by Neylon

Tiny Tree Children’s Books is entering the Young Adult market for the first time, publishing an “epic” saga by C J Neylon. 

Publisher James Shaw acquired world rights to the Seven Songs for a Throne saga directly from the author. The first book, Peredis a Prince at War, is published on 13th October. Neylon will continue the series over the coming years after signing a seven-book deal with the publisher in 2020.

The synopsis says: “Following visions of his father’s death, a prince of divided lineage embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery, chasing his destiny into a dangerous world of warring factions and injustice. Set in the early years of the 22nd century against a background of conflict between the Rational and Scientific Party, the new masters of a tyrannical Europus, and the Visionaries, an assembly of smaller armies fighting for the independence that was wrested from their nations some years before, Seven Songs For A Throne combines high fantasy and science fiction into a series filled with action, intrigue and captivating characters.”

Shaw said: “We’ve wanted to expand into the YA market for a long time, we just hadn’t found the right book — or books. As a fantasy and sci-fi geek myself, I quickly got lost in the world C J Neylon had created and wanted to read more. The amount of lore in the world C J has created is astounding. 

“Rarely do you get a fully formed seven-book saga put in front of you in one go. This might be the most epic way for us to get into YA possible.”
