Solaris Classics launches with The Chronicles of King Rolen’s Kin Rowena Cory Daniells’ bestselling fantasy series reissued under new Solaris banner Solaris is delighted to unveil Solaris Classics, a brand new initiative featuring the cutting edge imprint’s best titles of the last decade, republished and repackaged in bold new livery to be discovered by readers anew.

The first titles to be published under the Solaris Classics banner are the four titles of Rowena Cory Daniell’s The Chronicles of King Rolen’s Kin series. Featuring distinctive new branding, refreshed cover designs, and additional content such as previously unpublished novella The King’s Man, this first set of Solaris Classics titles represents an exciting new chapter in the Solaris story.

Solaris Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Oliver commented:

“Solaris has now been going for almost eleven years, and I felt that it was time to take stock: to look back over the hundreds of titles we’ve published and to champion the very best of this fiercely independent, innovative and wide-reaching imprint.

Solaris Classics highlights the titles that have shaped our imprint over the years, the titles that have brought widespread critical acclaim, commercial acclaim, and demonstrated the breadth of our publishing vision. Fantasy has been at the core of what we do from the very beginning, and it continues to be a genre that we invest in, constantly looking for new voices while championing the writers that have seen us go from success to success.

Rowena’s King Rolen’s Kin series shows traditional fantasy at its best. This is engrossing, exciting story-telling, designed to immerse the reader in a world of intrigue, magic and political machinations. Rowena’s series will be the vanguard of what I hope to be a series demonstrating the very best in independent genre publishing.”

Rowena Cory Daniells’ King Rolen’s Kin series will be published by Solaris from September 2016.
