Tor Bramble scoops new trilogy and companion novel by Grace Draven
Tor Bramble has acquired a new trilogy and a companion novel by indie author Grace Draven.
Gillian Green, publisher of Tor, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, to the four novels, from Anna Carmichael at Abner Stein on behalf of Sarah Younger at the Nancy Yost Literary Agency.
The deal comprises the new Blade and Dagger trilogy – The Blade Maiden, The Dagger Wife and The Knife Priestess – alongside the previously, initially self-published novel The Moon Raven (January 2026), which Tor Bramble will be re-releasing with extra content for a December 2026 release.
The Moon Raven tells the story of childhood friends turned lovers who find themselves reunited on opposite sides of a war, the publisher says.
Draven is the author of numerous self-published fantasy romance novels including the Wraith Kings series.
Green said: “Before romantasy was even a portmanteau, Grace Draven was writing it. She is a titan of the genre offering epic fantasy with a romance heart. I’ve been a long-time fan of her writing, and I’m thrilled to be welcoming her to Tor Bramble. Her new series is exquisite – lightly feminist with all the intricate world-building and the slow burn magic that a maturing market craves.”
Texas-based Draven commented: “As a devout believer in the power of friendship in any romantic relationship, I was inspired to write this story about two lovers who find their way back to each other in the midst of war and betrayal. I’m thrilled to partner with Tor in publishing The Moon Raven and my new trilogy.”
