Orbit Books announced the acquisition of a new series from the author of the Raven's Shadow series (Blood Song, Tower Lord and Queen of Fire), Anthony Ryan. The new series is named Draconis Memoria and the first book, The Waking Fire, will be released in July 2016. Here's the blurb for this new Epic series:
Anthony has always created memorable characters, and the protagonists of his latest tale are his finest creations yet. Clayton Torcreek is a straight-talking small-time criminal, while Lizanne Lethridge is a formidable spy and assassin. Both of them are ‘Blood-blessed’ – able to consume the blood of wild drakes, which grants them spectacular abilities.
As the Ironship Protectorate and the Corvantine Empire prepare for war, these two individuals will both find themselves embroiled in the ongoing hostilities. Clay must venture into the uncharted wilds in search of an expedition that disappeared under mysterious circumstances, while Lizanne must go undercover in enemy territory in order to locate an ancient artefact that may just swing the balance of the war – but only if she can reach it first.

Next up is Scott Lynch, with less good news. The Thorn of Emberlain, the fourth book in the Gentlemen Bastards sequence is delayed. Even if that's not the first time for Lynch, this time, he seems enthusiastic as to the length of this delay. A 2016 date is the target.

Shining in a more positive light is the fate of R. Scott Bakker's The Unholy Consult, the finale of the Aspect-Emperor trilogy. Back in June, Bakker shared a sad news, the publication process being on hold. It seems that the pressure from the fans to the publisher paid off since the process is now back on track and a date should be announced soon enough! Great work guys!
