Sarah Rees Brennan was born and raised in Ireland by the sea, where her teachers valiantly tried to make her fluent in Irish (she wants you to know it’s not called Gaelic) but she chose to read books under her desk in class instead. After living in London, New York and Australia, she now uses Ireland as a base for her adventures. She is the author of the The Demon’s Lexicon and Lynburn Legacy series, standalones Tell the Wind and Fire, and In Other Lands, and several collaborations with other writers such as Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson and Kelly Link. Her books have been long-listed for the Carnegie Medal, shortlisted for a Nebula award, and received multiple starred reviews.
