The Book ‘The Ruin Of Kings’ In Works As Epic Fantasy Series By Annapurna Television

Annapurna Television has optioned the rights to Jenn Lyons’ The Ruin Of Kings, the installment in the five-book series A Chorus of Dragons, for advancement as an epic fantasy TV series.

The Ruin of Kings pursues the narrative of Khirin, a youthful thief who finds he might be the child of a prince and associated with a complex prophecy where he is more profitable alive than dead.

The book, released on February 5 by Tor Books, has been getting positive early surveys, including from Kirkus Reviews, who stated, “In a sprawling, magic-filled world populated by gods, dragons, krakens, witches, demons, ghosts, shape-shifters, zombies, and so much more, Lyons ties it all together seamlessly to create literary magic.”

Lyons was a graphic artist and illustrator for twenty years and has worked in video games for over 10 years. She previously worked on The Saboteur and Lord of the Rings: Conquest at EA Games.

The deal was brokered by Richie Kern for the behalf of Sam Morgan of Foundry Literary + Media and Linda Lichter of LGNA.
