Jesse Bullington sold world rights to The Enterprise of Death to Orbit Books via agent Sally Harding of The Cooke Agency. The book is “about a young African slave who, as the witch-pyres of the Spanish Inquisition blanket Renaissance Europe in a moral haze, finds herself the unwilling apprentice of an ancient necromancer.”
Bullington’s first novel, The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart, will be published by Orbit in both the US and the UK this November.
