Hi there. I'm Aparna Verma, author of The Phoenix King. Rather than giving a boring, highly produced publishing bio, I figured I'd personally write to you. As an immigrant, I write fantasy stories about men and women lost between the edges of identities. You'll find themes of exploration, love, resilience, violence, and sacrifice. Maybe you'll love the characters, maybe you'll hate them. In the end, I just want to thank for picking up my books, and listening to the tales of a girl born in the desert.
