Victoria V.E. Schwab (www.veschwab.com) is the #1 New York Times, USA, and Indie bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including Vicious, the Shades of Magic series, and the Monsters of Verity series. Her work has received critical acclaim, been featured by Entertainment Weekly and the New York Times, translated into more than a dozen languages, and optioned for TV and Film. The Independent calls her the natural successor to Diana Wynne Jones and touts her enviable, almost Gaimanesque ability to switch between styles, genres, and tones.
"""As gorgeously written as it is brilliantly inventive, The Archived is that rare book that grabs you by the mind and the heart, not letting go of either once you've turned the last page. It's earned a permanent spot on my Keeper shelf.""--Rachel Hawkins, New York Times best-selling author of the Hex Hall series ""[Schwab] writes of death, sorrow, and family love with a light, intelligent touch and inventive vigor, and provides romance with a pleasing edge of unpredictability.""--The Horn Book ""A page-turning plot, a setting that haunted my dreams, and breathtaking prose. Truly a masterful, dark, beautiful novel.""--Ruta Sepetys, New York Times best-selling author of Between Shades of Gray and Salt to the Sea"
