Sara B. Larson is the bestselling and critically acclaimed author of Every Beat After as well as multiple YA fantasy books, including A Promised Vengeance, the Defy trilogy, the Dark Breaks the Dawn duology, and the Sisters of Shadow and Light duology. She can't remember a time when she didn't write books--although she now uses a computer instead of a Little Mermaid notebook. Sara lives in Utah with her family, Loki the Maltese, and Bindi the English cream retriever, where she also runs a commercial preschool. When she's not mothering, preschooling, or writing, you can often find her at the gym repenting of her sugar addiction.
