Disney-Hyperion started a new imprint, Rick Riordan Presents, for middle-grade readers featuring mythology-based books by September 2016. Riordan would act in a curator-type role and his editor, Stephanie Owens Lurie, would be editorial director of the imprint. The imprint was planned to be launched with two books in 2018. By April 2017, the imprint had acquired three titles for its 2018 launch with audio rights sold to Listening Library. Riordan Presents first book, Aru Shah and the End of Time, will be written by Roshani Chokshi to be published in April 2018 and will be the first in a quartet of novels. The other two, Yoon Ha Lee's Dragon Pearl Korean folklore novel and Jennifer Cervantes' Mayan-based Storm Runner novel, will be stand-alone novels released in September 2018.
