R.A. Salvatore sold a four-book series to Mary Kirchoff at Tor. Saga of the First King will chronicle the early days of Corona, the same world as Salvatore’s bestselling Demon Wars saga. The first new book, The Ancient, is scheduled for hardcover publication in early 2008. New books will follow once a year. Tor will also reissue The Highwayman—which sets up the storyline for The Ancient—in mass market paperback in October 2007.
