Alex Bracken in person event for SILVER IN THE BONE

Tamsin Lark didn’t ask to be a Hollower. As a mortal with no magical talent, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside. But after her thieving foster father disappeared without so much as a goodbye, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.

Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.

As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. . . .

ALEXANDRA BRACKEN was born in Phoenix, Arizona. The daughter of a Star Wars collector, she grew up going to an endless string of Star Wars conventions and toy fairs, which helped spark her imagination and instilled a deep love of reading. After graduating high school, she attended the College of William & Mary in Virginia, where she double-majored in English and history. She sold her first book, Brightly Woven, as a senior in college, and later moved to New York City to work in children's book publishing, first as an editorial assistant, then in marketing. After six years, she took the plunge and decided to write full-time. She now lives in Arizona with her tiny pup, Tennyson, in a house that's overflowing with books.

Alex is a #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. Her work is available across the world in over 15 languages.

Bracken sold her first book, Brightly Woven, as a senior in college (2010) and was dubbed “a debut writer to watch” by Publishers Weekly. After 6 years working in publishing at Random House Children’s Books, Bracken became a full-time author, going on to establish herself as one of the top YA fantasy authors writing today. Her books have been translated into over 15 languages, and she has created an impressive oeuvre featuring multiple bestselling stories including the Darkest Minds series, the Passenger series, and the middle-grade Prosper Redding series. Her most recent stand-alone, Lore, spent over 40 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was called “a brilliant and breathless twist on classic mythology” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles), cementing Bracken as an unstoppable force when it comes to adapting myths and legends into unique and creative tales. The publication of SILVER IN THE BONE marks Bracken’s return to Random House Children’s Books.
