HARPER COLLINS:  Janny Wurts’s long-running fantasy series, The Wars of Light and Shadow, is once again available in the US. Voyager, HarperCollins UK’s SF and Fantasy imprint, have acquired World rights in the entire series, and in Wurts’s standalone fantasy To Ride Hell’s Chasm, and will distribute into the US through Trafalgar Square.

Trafalgar Square will relaunch the titles at the rate of one a month, beginning with The Curse of the Mistwraith in May 2009.

The Wars of Light and Shadow tells the story of two half-brothers, Arithon and Lysaer, who in the first novel are forced into lifelong conflict in order to free the world of Athera from the Mistwraith. The repercussions of the curse inflicted on them is played out across the series in a rich and emotionally engaging fantasy epic filled with complex characters.
