Shannon Chakraborty is the author of the critically acclaimed and internationally best-selling The Daevabad Trilogy.

When not buried in books about medieval seafarers and con artists, she enjoys hiking, knitting, and re-creating unnecessarily complicated historical dishes.

She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband, daughter, and an ever-increasing number of cats.
