Tor Books has acquired Bridey Morris’s To Ruthless Ends and two further novels in a six-figure North American rights deal. The debut opens the Absent Gods dark-fantasy series and is scheduled for autumn 2027. Its setting is Istrin College, where a student’s place in the rankings determines the strength of their magic.

First-year trials can be fatal, and the gods demand blood sacrifices. Common-born dock worker Quinn Saxton is forced into that system without the lifelong preparation enjoyed by its elite entrants. Quinn finds an unexpected ally in Rennick Allard, the son of a powerful magical family, while growing increasingly

unwilling to surrender the power she gains. Editor Aislyn Fredsall acquired the books through agent Jennifer Azantian. The announcement gives a seasonal publication window rather than an exact day.
