Tricia Levenseller

Tricia Levenseller is a number-one bestselling author of young-adult and adult fantasy who grew up in Oregon and now lives in Utah, writing full time. Her debut, Daughter of the Pirate King, follows a fierce pirate captain's daughter sent undercover on an enemy ship, and continues in Daughter of the Siren Queen; both have been translated into more than twenty languages. Her Bladesmith duology, comprising Blade of Secrets and Master of Iron, follows a gifted teenage blacksmith who forges a sentient sword, while The Shadows Between Us and its sequel follow a scheming woman determined to marry, then murder, a villainous king.
