We couldn't be more excited to welcome New York Times-bestselling author V.E. Schwab for an evening full of magic, intrigue, adventure, deception, and piracy. Victoria will be discussing A Conjuring of Light, her thrilling conclusion to the Shades of Magic fantasy series, with Tara Sim, author of Timekeeper.

Victoria Schwab is the  product of a British mother, a Beverly Hills father, and a southern upbringing. She writes both YA and adult sci fi. The Independent calls Schwab "the natural successor to Diana Wynne Jones" and someone who has "an enviable, almost Gaiman-esque ability to switch between styles, genres, and tones." and Publishers Weekly said, "This is how fantasy should be done.”
