Nicole Glover

Nicole Glover is an American fantasy author best known for the Murder & Magic series, beginning with The Conductors (2020) and continuing in The Undertakers, The Improvisers, and the forthcoming The Starseekers. The series pairs mystery-style plotting with historical fantasy worldbuilding, following the same recurring investigators across its installments. Glover's fiction sits within a broader wave of speculative fiction that reframes periods of American history through a fantastical lens, using genre mystery structure as a vehicle for fantasy world-building rather than conventional epic-fantasy plotting. Her novels are released as a continuing series rather than standalone works, with each volume building on the world and characters established in The Conductors.
