Orbit has pre-empted debut author Louisa Carmody’s The Shadows that Listen, an ‘unputdownable dystopian romantasy set in an angels vs demons world with a delicious slow burn romance. Author Louisa Carmody said: ‘I am beyond grateful to be working with the incredibly passionate teams at Orbit UK, Orbit US, and Hachette Australia. I’m honoured to have the opportunity to bring The Shadows that Listen to readers with such a dedicated and accomplished publisher.’Acquiring editor Nadia Saward said: ‘I absolutely devoured The Shadows that Listen in under twenty-four hours. I’ve been desperately waiting for paranormal romance to make a comeback and Louisa Carmody is leading the charge with her debut. When Louisa isn’t curled up writing or reading, she’s usually spending time in the sun by the water.
