"Julie Kagawa is one killer storyteller." -MTV's Hollywood Crush blog
Born in Sacramento, California, Julie Kagawa moved to Hawaii at the age of nine, where she learned many things: how to bodyboard, that teachers screamed when you put centipedes in their desks and that writing stories in math class was a fantastic way to kill time. Her teachers were glad to see her graduate.
Julie now lives near Louisville, Kentucky, with her husband and a plethora of pets. She still laughs whenever she sees a centipede. She is the author of the bestselling Iron Fey series and can be found at www.juliekagawa.com.
To Survive in a ruined world, she must embrace the darkness...
Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a walled-in city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them-the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself dies...and becomes one of the monsters. Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend-a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten human and vampire alike. And soon Allie will have to decide what-and who-is worth dying for...again
