Mirari Press is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Fate’s Scatterlings, an epic five-book fantasy series by award-winning author Nerine Dorman. The first book in the series, Call the Fire, is set to release in 2026.
Blending high adventure with deep character exploration, Call the Fire follows Conn, a young squire with the rare ability to track warlocks, and Garyn, a priest's apprentice torn from his homeland by slavers. Their fates become intertwined as they are caught between powerful forces vying to unlock an ancient imprisoned god. With paladins, warlocks, and the weight of destiny closing in, Conn and Garyn must forge an unlikely bond to survive—and perhaps change the world itself.
It's a queer New Adult boys' adventure - a dungeon-crawler at heart, but with an evil granny antagonist. What more could you ask for?
“Nerine Dorman is a master storyteller, and Fate’s Scatterlings is exactly the kind of immersive, thought-provoking fantasy we love to champion at Mirari Press,” said Marius du Plessis, CEO and publisher at Mirari Press. “We can’t wait to share this incredible journey with readers. Call the Fire scratched every itch I have–I know that readers will fall in love with Conn and Garyn just as much as I did.”
Further details on Call the Fire and the Fate’s Scatterlings series will be revealed in the coming months.
Nerine Dorman’s The Company of Birds was recently published by Mirari Press. Call the Fire will be her second release with the house.
