“As Icarus had risen, so he had fallen.” The social setting of Monsters Born and Made is inspired by the caste system of South Asia, but I also borrowed classical mythology motif of Icarus around which to build this story. I love taking mythological archetypes and molding them for the story on hand for many reasons but especially because it comes with a built-in spine of the character arc.

••• Monsters Born and Made is a Hunger Games meets Scorpio Races dystopian fantasy novel about a 16yo girl who hunts and captures vicious sea beasts to train them for an elite chariot race tournament. You can get it anywhere books are sold: Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Book Depository + more.

Monsters Born and Made, my debut dystopian fantasy, is out today everywhere. This is the book of my angry, frustrated, traumatized soul. I love it to pieces, and I hope it finds its way in the world.

there’s a long, long story behind this and maybe i’ll write about it? someday? the stuff about how the publisher decided on crowdsourcing the title, but also all that about querying, pitch wars, revising, crying and persevering, and one yes etc etc.

first of all, i cannot believe i get to write the following words: my debut book is coming out from sourcebooks fire next year!!!!!!!

i have waited a decade to be at this point, persevering through a lot, writing and discarding so many words i don’t know if i could ever count them. but here is everything i worked for. a book!!!!

my lovely publishers are doing something super cool to kick off the whole process and that is asking readers to choose a title. you can find a description (and read an excerpt!! the whole first chapter which i love!!) HERE.

Jace Herondale for @genyalina

I don’t know who I am. I look at myself in the mirror and I see Stephen Herondale, but I act like a Lightwood and talk like my father—like Valentine. So I see who I am in your eyes, and I try to be that person, because you have faith in that person and I think faith might be enough to make me what you want.
