HarperCollins Children's Books has signed a further three-book deal with Wicked Lovely author Melissa Marr for an undisclosed sum.
Gillie Russell, publishing director for fiction 11+, and commissioning editor Nick Lake bought UK and Commonwealth rights (including Australia and New Zealand) through HarperCollins US.
The first book covered under the new deal will be published in the summer of 2010.
Russell said: "Melissa creates a fully realised urban faery world, with all the tension and politics of faery life." Her writing "exerts a powerful seduction on adults as well as teenagers".
