EditorAdmin Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 We’re very excited to bring you a special cover reveal for the much anticipated next novel by Garth Nix, THE SINISTER BOOKSELLERS OF BATH, set to be released March 2023 by Gollancz. Firstly, let’s find out what the book is all about: A wintry and wonderful return to the alternate 1980s England of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London. There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage. The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an Ancient Sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Purbeck marble. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers. If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal. Now let’s take a look at the cover! cover artist Rachael Lancaster. Isn’t that so vibrant! Well this one isn’t out for quite a while but you can pre-order your copy HERE Praise for Garth Nix: Garth Nix is one of the best world-builders in fantasy.
