Canelo grow their romantasy list with brand new trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Emma Hamm
March 21, 2025
Editorial director Emily Bedford has acquired UK & Commonwealth rights to a thrillingly dark romantasy series by Emma Hamm from Rachel Podmajersky at Simon & Schuster, Inc in a three-book deal.
When Princess Jessamine is murdered on her wedding day — at the altar — she strikes a deal with the god of death to get revenge and save her people from the plague that is wiping out her nation. But the Deathless One has been waiting a long time for his freedom, and he will do whatever it takes to manipulate their deal to his benefit. So begins not only an epic battle of wills and fierce attraction, but a journey which will unleash the witch within Jessamine.
Emma Hamm is the author of 40+ self-published romantasy and monster romance books, including two complete 5-book series. She has 27K followers on Instagram and 22K on TikTok. Her independently published books have already made Emma a USA Today bestseller, and The Gravesinger books are her first traditionally published series.
Emily Bedford says: ‘With two morally grey characters at the heart of this series, The Deathless One is wonderfully dark, gritty, sexy, and wholly unputdownable. From the shocking opening to the cliffhanger ending, I felt breathless from start to finish — Emma writes twisted pining and will-they-won’t-they like no other, so I was frantically turning the pages to see if Jessamine would fall to the Deathless One’s temptations. I couldn’t be more excited to bring her fantastic storytelling to UK & Commonwealth readers.’
Emma Hamm says: ‘A deep and heartfelt HELLO to all my UK readers! I am SO excited to share this brand new series! I really hope you enjoy the story that I’ve told here with my undead princess and her (un)trustworthy god. There is a lot of gritty magic, dark humor and a shadow god who is sure to steal your heart. I can’t wait for you to make a deal with the Deathless One. I mean… meet the Deathless One.’
The Deathless One will be published in September 2025, in mass market paperback and ebook, with book two to follow in 2026. For more information please contact [email protected]
