About the Authors
Jordan Ifueko is a Nigerian American writer of young adult fantasy. Her debut novel, Raybearer, has been called a perfect read for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sabaa Tahir. Young Tarisai was raised by a mysterious, often absent mother known as “The Lady.” The enigmatic woman has plans for Tarisai: get her chosen as one of the Crown Prince’s Council of 11; get close to him; kill him. Though all Tarisai wants is to find the closeness of a real family, she is magically bound to carry out The Lady’s wish. Is she strong enough to find her own path?
Nic Stone is an Atlanta native and a Spelman College graduate. After working extensively in teen mentoring and living in Israel for several years, she returned to the United States to write full-time. Nic’s debut novel for young adults, Dear Martin, was a New York Times bestseller and William C. Morris Award finalist. She is also the author of the teen titles Odd One Out, a novel about discovering oneself and who it is okay to love, which was an NPR Best Book of the Year and a Rainbow Book List Top Ten selection, and Jackpot, a love-ish story that takes a searing look at economic inequality. Clean Getaway, Nic’s first middle-grade novel, deals with coming to grips with the pain of the past and facing the humanity of our heroes. She lives in Atlanta with her adorable little family.
