Pierce Brown
Pierce Brown spent his childhood building forts and setting traps for his cousins in the woods of six states and the deserts of two. Graduating college in 2010, he fancied the idea of continuing his studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a magical bone in his body. So while trying to make it as a writer, he worked as a manager of social media at a startup tech company, toiled as a peon on the Disney lot at ABC Studios, did his time as an NBC page, and gave sleep deprivation a new meaning during his stint as an aide on a U.S. Senate Campaign.
Now he lives in Los Angeles, where he scribbles tales of spaceships, wizards, ghouls, and most things old or bizarre.

Pierce Brown recommends
The Emperor's Blades (2013)
(Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, book 1)
Brian Staveley
"An enchanting union of old and new, Staveley's debut will keep you turning pages late into the night."
Tin Men (2015)
Christopher Golden
"A chilling tale of a world that could be, Tin Men is a vicious beast—Starship Troopers meets Generation Kill—that left my nerves fried and my brain craving another fix."
Sleeping Giants (2016)
(Themis Files, book 1)
Sylvain Neuvel
"Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z, Sleeping Giants is a luminous conspiracy yarn that shoots for (and lands among) the stars."
Magicians Impossible (2017)
Brad Abraham
"Crackling prose and kinetic characters make Abraham's debut a winner."
The Hod King (2019)
(Babel, book 3)
Josiah Bancroft
"It's rare to find a modern book that feels like a timeless classic."
Seven Blades in Black (2019)
(Grave of Empires, book 1)
Sam Sykes
"Sykes is a master at taking familiar elements of fantasy and stirring them to a wicked, wholly original churn. In Sal the Cacophony, Sykes has crafted a protagonist for the ages. Ludicrous, wicked, delightful."
A Little Hatred (2019)
(Age of Madness, book 1)
Joe Abercrombie
"Abercrombie squeezes your heart till it matches his beat. No one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie."
Hard Wired (2020)
Len Vlahos
"Len's vibrant prose casts a spell as he weaves many of the best elements of science fiction and myth together to create a unique and engrossing yarn. A page turner for sure, but one that haunts long after it has entertained."
Bystander 27 (2020)
Rik Hoskin
"Irreverent, gritty, and poignant when it needs to be, Bystander 27 is a bloody blaze of a read that peels back the familiar trappings of a super-hero tale to explore loss, revenge, and the power imbalance when cape-wearing gods walk the Earth astride us mere mortals."
A Deadly Education (2020)
(Scholomance, book 1)
Naomi Novik
"A Deadly Education is a nightmare from which I never wished to wake: savage, inventive, and soulful. Novik grasps the totems of childhood that linger in your mind—schools of magic, curses, cutthroat classmates, monsters—only to twist them into a grand new tale that’ll make you believe in magic again."
Child of Light (2021)
(Child of Light, book 1)
Terry Brooks
"Child of Light is enchantingly feral. Precise in his prose, clever in his worldbuilding, Brooks stretches new muscles to explore a young woman’s quest for identity. The pace is rapid as a river, but this one twists hard and runs deep."
Children of the Flying City (2022)
Jason Sheehan
"Richly imagined and emotionally resonant, Children of the Flying City is a fantasy for young and old alike. This book gave my heart wings."
