Sarah J. Maas is the author of Throne of Glass, a YA epic fantasy that was published by Bloomsbury in fall 2012. Its four prequel e-novellas were released earlier in the year.

Sarah was born and raised in New York City, but after graduating from Hamilton College in 2008, she moved to Southern California. She’s always been just a tad obsessed with fairy-tales and folklore, though she’d MUCH rather be the one slaying the dragon instead of the damsel in distress. Over the years, she’s written several other novels, most of them fairy-tale retellings. When she’s not busy writing, she can be found geeking out over things like Han Solo, gaudy nail polish, and ballet. The sequel to Throne of Glass will be published in fall 2013.
