Lesley Livingston is an award-winning author of teen fiction best known for her Wondrous Strange trilogy. Captivated at a young age by stories of the distant past and legendary heroes and warriors, Lesley developed into a full-fledged history buff and mythology geek. Her fascination with ancient Celtic and classical civilizations--spurred on by recently discovered archaeological evidence supporting the existence of female gladiators--inspired Fallon's story in The Valiant. Lesley holds a master's degree in English from the University of Toronto and was a principal performer in a Shakespearean theatre company, specializing in performances for teen audiences, for more than a decade. www.lesleylivingston.com.

"The third and final entry in the series that began with Wondrous Strange (2008), this ends the story just right. ... The romance! And the battles! And all the Shakespeare! It's enjoyable [and] well-plotted." -- Kirkus Reviews"Livingston brings this trilogy to a strong and satisfying conclusion, and readers will enjoy every minute, while wishing it did not have to end." -- School Library Journal"Livingston's artistry at creating imaginary worlds that exist side by side with contemporary New York remains strong...fans of the first two entries will gulp this one down with gusto." -- Booklist
