Leigh Bardugo

In the early 2010s, the list of writers creating works in the genre of fantasy and science fiction was replenished with the name of Lee Bardugo, who became the author of popular novels for adults and children. From the very beginning, her works sold in thousands of copies and received the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire, Premios Kelvin 505, Deutscher Phantastik Preis and BooktubeSFF Awards.

American writer Lee Bardugo was born on April 6, 1975 in Jerusalem, but she spent her childhood in the United States of America, where her family moved after leaving Israel.

In 1997, the grown-up girl received a bachelor's degree from the oldest educational institution in America and for a couple of years worked in the field of copywriting and journalism, and then abruptly changed her professional biography and graduated to become a make-up and makeup specialist.

In interviews handed out after the release of each book, Bardugo does not talk about the first steps in her creative career, so fans think that she always wrote books and did not do anything else.

There is no doubt that the American woman had a rich imagination, which made it possible to come up with the universe of the Greaters and write her debut novel, Shadow and Bone. The heroine Alina Starkova first appeared there, who found herself in a country full of monsters, and discovered the power of magic in herself, which allowed her to save and protect her friends.

In a short time, "Shadow and Bone" gained fantastic popularity and hit the 8th place on the New York Times bestseller list. Readers were waiting for the continuation of the adventures of their favorite characters, and in 2013, Lee received an order for a full series of 3 books.
