THE PARIAH, the first installment in Anthony Ryan’s next epic trilogy, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly. They write: “Ryan impresses with this fantasy trilogy opener…[He] makes buy-in easy thanks to three-dimensional characters and intelligent prose that grips from the opening sentence…Gritty and well-drawn, this makes a rich treat for George R.R. Martin fans.” Orbit will publish the book on August 24, 2021.
