A. J. Hackwith (she/they) is (almost) certainly not an ink witch in a hoodie. She's a queer writer of fantasy and science fiction living in the woods of the Pacific Northwest with her partner and various pet cryptids. A.J. is the author of a number of fantasy novels, including the acclaimed LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN fantasy trilogy. She is a graduate of the Viable Paradise writer's workshop and her work appears in Uncanny Magazine and assorted anthologies. Summon A.J. at your own peril with an arcane circle of fountain pens, weird collections of rusted keys, and homebrew D&D accessories. Or you can find A.J. on Instagram, Patreon and other dark corners of the Internet as @ajhackwith.
"The plot of this final volume has its exciting twists, but the
real payoff is Hackwith’s complex characters...The character
development throughout the series, the polyamory and queer
representation, and convincing fears and desires all combine to
make characters that feel real, and that will earn readers’ full
investment."--Booklist
"Hackwith suffuses this story with love in many forms, deep
thoughts on reading, and variations on reality...It’s the perfect
finish to this inventive saga."--Publishers Weekly
