In our first event of the year, please join us to celebrate the launch of Akshaya Raman’s epic fantasy debut, The Ivory Key, in which magic, a prized resource, is the only thing between peace and war. When magic runs out, four estranged royal siblings must piece together and follow clues left behind by a dangerous secret society to unlock a new source of magic before their country is swallowed by invading forces. The first in an Indian-inspired duology, The Ivory Key is part family drama and part treasure hunt in which characters aren’t bound by fate and instead choose to relentlessly pursue their dreams.
“The Ivory Key has everything I want most in fantasy. It has a world so vivid and developed, I could taste the food and feel the magic weapons in my hand. It has flawed, developed characters I rooted for and cried beside. And it has a quest steeped in lore and mystery. Akshaya Raman is a new master of the genre to watch for.” —Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series
Akshaya Raman fell in love with writing when she wrote her first story at the age of ten. She is a co-founder and contributor to Writer’s Block Party, a group blog about writing and publishing, and has served on the planning teams of several book festivals
Akshaya will be chatting with Adrienne Young, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Fable duology and the Sky in the Deep duology, and The Last Legacy
Don’t miss this first new favorite read of the year.
