In Tehlor Kay Mejia’s daring and romantic fantasy debut novel for teens, society-wife-in-training Dani has a great awakening after being recruited by rebel spies and falling for her biggest rival. The first in a sizzling fantasy duology, Mejia’s We Set the Dark on Fire (Katherine Tegen Books) is a boldly feminist look at freedom, family, and fighting the power. Mejia will be joined in conversation by Michelle Ruiz Keil, author of the forthcoming YA fantasy novel, All of Us With Wings. This event is being held in conjunction with Children’s Book Week.
