About the Author
Megan Whalen Turner is an award winning and bestselling author of six standalone novels set in the world of the Queen's Thief. Her books have been awarded the Mythopoeic Prize for Children's Literature, the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Young Adult Literature, a Newbury Honor, and a Horn Book/Globe Honor. She has twice been shortlisted for the Andre Norton Award. Satisfying for readers of all ages, Turner's books are filled with political machinations and divine intervention, friendship, fortitude and deceit.

Turner lives (usually) on the shores of Lake Erie in the United States.
