Award-winning author Karyn Henley has written over one hundred titles. She received her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, a jazz drummer.
"Karyn Henley spins a lyrical young-adult tale of mythical and legendary beings, of reimagined angels and terri-fying malevolents, in a small kingdom where the world's fate rests on a young priestess's shoulders." -Kathy Tyers, author of Shivering World and the Firebird series "This lusciously written fantasy has it all: epic battles, earthbound angels, immortal humans, and a bright, engaging heroine. Henley's young priestess-turned-warrior is forced to put her past together like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces so sharp they cut. Her story is nearly impossible to forget, so readers will be eager for more!" -Louise Hawes, author of Black Pearls: a Faerie Strand, AAUW Juvenile Literature Award nominee; Gold Award, Hall of Fame, teensreadtoo.com "Karyn Henley's novel starts with a jolt, grabs the reader by the collar, and doesn't slow down one minute. This author infuses her text with imagery, suspense, and a cast that will appeal to all ages. In addition, it has a feeling that I can only describe as "folklorish," with all the best elements that come with that-music, magic, and mystery. I think it's des-tined to become a classic." -Kathi Appelt, author of The Underneath, National Book Award finalist, Newbery Honor Book, PEN USA Award
