TITAN BOOKS SET TO PUBLISH ‘EPIC’ RUNESCAPE NOVELS FROM MAY 2024
Titan Books is delighted to announce that they have acquired World Rights from games developer Jagex to develop three paperback novels set within the RuneScape universe. The first of the three novels, entitled RuneScape: The Gift of Guthix, will publish in May 2024, with the second due to publish in September 2024 and the third to publish in February 2025. Thrilling epics of betrayal and magic, these novels are sure to delight players past and present of both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape.
In the first novel, Asgarnia’s fate hangs in the balance. Disparate tribes unite under the banner of Lord Raddalin, and his enemies look on in fear and hatred. Raddalin’s advisors – an uneasy alliance of Black and White knights – whisper of a discovery in the North that will give them the power to change everything.
Caught in the midst of history, a lowly scribe and the son of a Jarl hold the fate of Raddalin’s new kingdom in their hands.
From the glorious inauguration of King Raddalin’s reign to the disgraceful expulsion of the Zamorakians from Asgarnia, The Gift of Guthix tells an epic tale of the origin of magic, the plight of civil war, and the crushing defeat of the Fremennik Great Invasion. Amongst plots and betrayals, a penitent turncoat waits for her moment to leap into the unknown.
The novel will be penned by Erin M. Evans, the author of seven Forgotten Realms novels for Wizards of the Coast, including the 2011 Scribe Award winner Brimstone Angels. She is a content designer for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and a cast member of the D&D actual play Dungeon Scrawlers. Erin lives in the Seattle area with her husband and sons. Her latest series, Books of the Usurper, begins with Exile of Empires, published in November 2022 by Orbit.
