L. K. Steven is a #1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author from the northernmost town in England. She has written several young adult novels as Laura Steven, such as Every Exquisite Thing, The Society for Soulless Girls, and Our Infinite Fates. When she’s not writing twisty SF/F and horror, you can probably find her trail running, reading chunky fantasy novels, baking cookies, venturing on Pokémon Go safaris, playing old men at chess, or ignoring her husband and son to perfect her Stardew Valley farm. Silvercloak is her adult debut.
