Hodderscape signs new fantasy romance by M.A. Kuzniar

31/07/2025

We are delighted that Hodderscape has acquired two historical fantasy romances from M.A. Kuzniar! Publishing director Molly Powell bought UK & Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from Thérèse Coen. The first book, titled A Remedy For Fate, will publish in hardback, e-book and audio formats in March 2o26.

A Remedy for Fate is a magical historical fantasy set in Baroque Prague. Thea runs Stiltskin’s Apothecary, brewing potions to chase away nightmares and soothing heartache – and pining for her heart. Seven years ago, she bargained it away to the apothecary’s owner, in a deal she cannot remember, for reasons she cannot recall. Then one day a stranger arrives with an unusual request. One that will upturn Thea’s entire existence – and offer her a chance to recover her heart . . .

Molly Powell described being a ‘long term fan of M.A. Kuzniar’s, and her swoony, stunning stories.’ Powell is ‘overjoyed that [Kuzniar] is joining the Hodderscape imprint’ with this ‘gorgeous, whimsical, cozy and romantic historical fantasy.’ ‘Working with her is a delight and an honour, and I know A Remedy for Fate will excite her existing fans and delight new readers alike!’

Kuzniar said: ‘I’ve always adored Hodderscape books and getting to join the brilliant Molly and the rest of the fabulous team for my next chapter is a dream come true! I had so much fun writing Remedy of Fates, an enemies-to-lovers fantasy set in Baroque Prague, inspired by Rumpelstiltskin meets Faust, and my cosiest book to date. I can’t wait for readers to stroll into the Magic Quarter and enter Thea’s apothecary. ’
