Tolkien's Triumphant Return

Del Rey will publish the mass market edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Children of Húrin, the #1 New York Times hardcover bestseller, in June 2010! Begun in 1918, The Children of Húrin was one of three "Great Teles" J.R.R. Tolkien worked on throughout his life, though he never realized his ambition to see it published. Christopher Tolkien, the author's son, edited the complete work from his father's many drafts, and it represents the culmination of a tireless thirty-year endeavor to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience.

An Adventure Begins in The Infernal City: An Elder Scrolls Novel

The Elder Scrolls video game series is nothing less than legendary in the gaming world. But the Elder Scrolls is not just another blockbuster video game. This high fantasy saga has won the deep devotion of its fans because of its expansive, rich, and immersive world. In its incredible depth and richness, it recalls such engrossing sagas as The Lord of the Rings. This is a game that simply cries out for the in-depth exploration only a novel can offer. And now the extraordinary fantasy novelist Greg Keyes (The Born Queen) serves as your guide in The Infernal City: An Elder Scrolls Novel, an all-new epic adventure set in the world of the Elder Scrolls. This novel is a follow-up to the recent game Elder Scrolls: Oblivion—but even fans who are new to the Elder Scrolls can join in on this gorgeously written high fantasy tale: In the shadow of Umbriel, a floating city, the dead are beginning to rise again... and only a trio of unlikely adventurers—a prince, a spy, and a young girl—can solve the city's dark mystery.

Homecoming A Bestseller!

Patricia Briggs' graphic novel—Mercy Thosmpson: Homecoming—continues to conquer new fans. It has just hit its eighth week on the New York Times graphic novel bestseller list.
