Join us for a virtual event with the bestselling and award-winning author of the "Six of Crows" and the "Shadow and Bone" series.

Join us for a virtual event with the #1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Six of Crows and the Shadow and Bone series and celebrate the release of her Six of Crows (The Dregs Edition). 

Since publishing in 2015, Leigh Bardugo’s highly popular Six of Crows has taken the world of young adult literature by storm–and it’s not hard to see why. The complex fantasy setting, thoughtfully-structured magic system, and deliciously morally gray characters all collide in a world you won’t want to leave.

Bardugo is the author of The Familiar, Ninth House, and the creator of the Grishaverse (now a Netflix original series) which spans the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology, the King of Scars duology—and much more. Her short fiction has appeared in multiple anthologies including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. 

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
