AN ECHO IN THE CITY Announcement

Hannah Milton at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers has acquired, at auction, debut YA author K.X. Song's AN ECHO IN THE CITY. The novel follows two teenagers–an aspiring photographer and the son of a police officer trying to find his own path–falling in love and coming of age amidst the Hong Kong protests. The book is scheduled for 2022. Lauren Spieller at TriadaUS Literary Agency negotiated the deal for world rights.

THE NIGHT ENDS WITH FIRE Announcement

For Ace Books, Anne Sowards bought a fantasy duology by K.X. Song (An Echo in the City). The first title under the North American rights deal, handled by Peter Knapp at Park & Fine Literary, is The Night Ends with Fire. Ace said Night is inspired by the Chinese folktale about Mulan, a female warrior, as well as the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms; it’s about “a brave young woman who goes to extraordinary lengths to rewrite her destiny and escape the forces that would conscript her to a life without agency.” Fire is slated for summer 2024.
