Mona Tewari’s debut duology from North American imprint Boundless Press, is already garnering social media success and critical acclaim amongst fantasy-lovers. The Bombay Circle Press will publish their editions in agreement with Abner Stein, Taryn Fagerness Agency and Bindery Books. These lush historical fantasies reimagine the Portuguese attacks on South India in the 1500s and a fierce real-life queen’s story.
Abbakka Chowta, the younger of Ullal’s two rajkumaris, spent years in rigorous combat training to become her sister’s blade. But when the monstrous Porcugi attempt to lay claim to Ullal, Abbakka’s world—and fate—are upended.
The Porcugi—giant half-men, half-snakes who attack from the sea—arrive with a choice: pay their tithes or suffer total devastation. Soon, Abbakka’s definitions of strength, subterfuge, and statecraft are put to the test.
Will marriage to a neighboring king give her the resources she needs to protect her people or will she watch her homeland be crushed beneath the waves of would-be colonizers?
Burn the Sea will arrive on Indian bookshelves in October 2026. The sequel, Before I Bow, set five years after the first book will conclude the series in 2027.
The first two books in bestselling Norwegian crime and thriller author Ørjan N. Karlsson’s latest series have been acquired by The Bombay Circle Press from Orenda Books. Translated by Ian Giles, Into Thin Air and Into The Dark are police procedurals set in the harsh Arctic North. 
When nineteen-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears during a run in a popular hiking area in Bodø, Northern Norway, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. For investigator Jakob Weber, the case seems clear-cut, almost unexceptional, even though there is some suggestion that Iselin lived parts of her life beneath the radar of both family and friends.
But events take a dramatic turn when another woman disappears in similar circumstances – this time on the island of Røst, miles off the Norwegian coast, in the wild ocean.
Rumours that a killer is on the loose begin to spread, terrifying the local population and leading to wild conspiracies. But then Jakob discovers that this isn’t the first time that young women have vanished without a trace in the region, and it becomes clear that someone is hiding something … and another murderous spree may have just begun…
The Bombay Circle Press’ edition of Into Thin Air is slated for a November 2026 release. Into The Dark, featuring more sinister deaths, a solitary cabin and a man without a face will follow in 2027.
