About this Event
Join us as we celebrate the release of the first in a debut epic fantasy trilogy, The Phoenix King, from author Aparna Verma, in conversation with SFF stars Tasha Suri and Kate Dylan.
"In a kingdom where flames hold magic and the desert hides secrets, an ancient prophecy comes for an assassin, a princess, and a king. But none are ready to face destiny - and the choices they make could burn the world."
Aparna Verma was born in India and immigrated to the United States when she was two-years-old. She graduated from Stanford University with Honours in the Arts and a B.A. in English. The Phoenix King is her first novel.When she is not writing, Aparna likes to ride horses, dance to Bollywood music, and find old cafes to read myths about forgotten worlds.Tasha Suri is an award-winning author, a writing tutor, an occasional librarian and a cat owner. She has won the Best Newcomer (Sydney J. Bounds) Award from the British Fantasy Society, the Starburst Brave New Words Award, and has been nominated for the Astounding Award and Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Her debut novel Empire of Sand was named one of the 100 best fantasy books of all time by TIME magazine. When she isn't writing, Tasha likes to cry over TV shows, buy too many notebooks, and indulge her geeky passion for reading about South Asian history. She lives with her family in a mildly haunted house in London.Kate Dylan is a video editor by day, science fiction and fantasy author by night. Her love for creating new worlds is fuelled by a steady diet of coffee, books, and Marvel movies. When she isn’t telling stories, you can find her haunting London cafés like an over-caffeinated ghost.
