Debut novelist Jon Sprunk sold a fantasy trilogy to Lou Anders at Pyr Books. Sprunk is represented by Eddie Schneider at the JABberwocky Literary Agency. Anders expects the first book, Shadow's Sun, to appear in Summer 2010. It will be followed by Shadow's Lure, and Shadow's Master.
Anders says "Sprunk is a Pennsylvania-based author with several small-press short story publications to his credits. He impressed me with the strength of his world-building, how he conjured credibility from a a few impressive details, and with his characterizations and imagination."
He describes the first book as "the story of an assassin thrust into the middle of a political and religious upheaval that threatens to topple the last bastion of civilization. It's got everything that Pyr fantasy is coming to represent—great action, grit & grime, morally ambiguous characters, strong females who are more than foils, complex politics, actual magic, and lots and lots of swordplay."
