The Russian publisher of the hit American fantasy series Shades of Magic has admitted it redacted one of the books to comply with the country's "gay propaganda" law.
American fantasy writer Victoria Schwab last week accused the Russian publisher Rosmen of a breach of contract after she found out it had "redacted the entire queer plot [without] permission."
"I was absolutely horrified. Wouldn't have known if not for a Russian reader who read both editions," she said on Twitter. "Publisher in total breach of contract."
