Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, three cats, and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. Formerly a video game producer, she now spends her days writing fantasy. A long-time devotee of storytelling, she traces her geek roots back to playing first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school and reading her way from A to Z in the school's library.
Lyons proves she is worthy of comparison to other masters of epic fantasy. --Booklist, starred review Priase for The Ruin of Kings [A] jaw-dropping, action-packed story of betrayal, greed, and grand-scale conspiracy . . . Lyons ties it all together seamlessly to create literary magic. Epic fantasy fans looking for a virtually un-put-down-able read should look no further. --Kirkus, starred review Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it. --Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians It was one hell of a ride. I gobbled it up and was hungry for more. --Glen Cook, author of The Black Company The Ruin of Kings is a fascinating story about a compellingly conflicted young hero in an intriguingly complex world. --L. E. Modesitt, Jr., author of the Recluse series A thriller plot of revenge and loyalty with a get-under-your-skin and keep-you-reading-all-night mysetery at its heart. I loved it. --John Gwynne, author of Malice The Ruin of Kings revs up with the glitz of a high-speed, multi-level video game, with extreme magic and a teen hero with angst. --Janny Wurts, author of The Curse of the Mistwraith
