Lois McMaster Bujold's The Assassins of Thasalon Likely to be Sold Out on Publication

Lois McMaster Bujold's The Assassins of Thasalon, the first novel-length adventure to feature Penric and Desdemona, has been graced with a pair of strong trade reviews, including a starred review from Publishers Weekly.

These are likely to drive demand which will render Assassins sold out on publication. As a reminder, we will not be providing copies to large online retailers.

Limited: 1250 signed numbered hardcover copies: $48

From Library Journal (Starred Review):

“The continuation of the adventures of Penric and Desdemona are given room in this story filled with all the adventure, humor, and action Bujold is known for.”

From Publishers Weekly:

“This is Bujold’s first novel-length work in the series, allowing her to further develop both her fascinating side characters and the inventive theology that underpins Pen’s magic. Meanwhile, Pen and Des’s usual witty repartee adds a dash of humor to the intricate plot. Penric and Desdemona are two of the more unusual characters in modern fantasy, and Bujold continues to find new and exciting challenges to throw at them.”
