Publisher's Weekly is reporting that "The Dresden Files" author Jim Butcher has sold his next series to Roc, the fantasy imprint of Penguin Group.
The Aeronaut's Windlass will be the first book of "The Cinder Spires", set in a steampunk world "of black spires that tower for miles over a mist-shrouded surface." The author says that the series is "kinda League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets Sherlock [Holmes] meets [Horatio] Hornblower. There are goggles and airships and steam power and bizarre crystal technology …".
Butcher's most recent novel is Cold Days, the fourteenth to feature supernatural detective Harry Dresden, formerly Chicago's only professional wizard.
No publication date for The Aeronaut's Windlass was announced.
