KELLEY ARMSTRONG
an adult card, she made straight for the epic fantasy and horror shelves. She spent the rest of her childhood and teen years happily roaming fantastical and terrible worlds and vowed that someday she'd write a story combining swords, sorcery, and the ravenous undead. That story began with the
New York Times
bestselling
Sea of Shadows
, continued with
Empire of Night
, and now concludes with
Forest of Ruin
.
Armstrong's first works for teens were the
New York Times
bestselling Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising trilogies. She lives in rural Ontario with her husband, three children, and far too many pets. You can visit her online at
