"No doubt the charm, humor, and intelligence of Wrede's writing will continue to enthrall." -Publishers Weekly   "High-style fantasy and adventure." -The New York Times   "Wrede's characters are understated but complex . . . and the world-building is generously spiced with political and magical mysteries, perils, and conflicts." -The Horn Book  For over twenty years, Patricia C. Wrede (b. 1953) has expanded the boundaries of young-adult fantasy writing. Her first novel, Shadow Magic (1982), introduced Lyra, a magical world in which she set four more novels. Her other series include the Enchanted Forest Chronicles; the Cecelia and Kate novels, co-written with Caroline Stevermer; the Mairelon books, which take place in Regency England; and the Old-West Frontier Magic series. Wrede lives and works in Minnesota.
