Shelby Mahurin, New York Times bestselling author, is coming to Kepler’s to celebrate the release of her latest young adult novel, The Scarlet Veil. Based in the same world as her Serpent & Dove series, we follow the good and beautiful Célie and her decision to become the first huntswoman. 

Célie is determined to protect her town and all those she loves. When she catches the eye of the monstrous King, she now has more than one reason to fear the dark. A deliciously dark novel that will capture your attention from the very beginning. 

Shelby will be joined by Ava Reid the author of The Wolf and the Woodsman, Juniper & Thorn, and A Study in Drowning. Join us for an incredible night with two brilliant minds to discuss all things vampires, romance, and storytelling.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Shelby Mahurin is the New York Times, indie, and internationally bestselling author of the Serpent & Dove trilogy and The Scarlet Veil (September 2023). She grew up on a small farm in rural Indiana, where sticks became wands and cows became dragons. Her rampant imagination didn’t fade with age, so she continues to play make-believe every day—with words now instead of cows. When not writing, Shelby watches the Office and obsesses over her Instagram feed. She still lives near that childhood farm with her very tall husband, semi-feral children, three dogs, and one cat.

Ava Reid is the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of critically acclaimed adult fantasies Juniper & Thorn and The Wolf and the Woodsman, as well as the forthcoming A Study in Drowning, her young adult debut. After obtaining her degree in political science from Barnard College, she moved to Palo Alto, where she continues to haunt university libraries. 

Masks are required for everyone over the age of 2 years old and must be worn at all times in the venue, and throughout the duration of the event.
