When librarians finally granted Kelley Armstrong an adult card, she
made straight for the epic fantasy and horror shelves. She spent
the rest of her childhood and teen years happily roaming
fantastical and terrible worlds, and vowed that someday she'd write
a story combining swords, sorcery, and the ravenous undead. That
story began with the New York Times bestselling Sea of Shadows and
continues with Empire of Night.
Armstrong's first works for teens were the New York Times
bestselling Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising trilogies. She lives
in rural Ontario with her husband, three children, and far too many
pets.
