Biography

I write novels for DAW books. There are 11 books in total, over three different, but connected series:

THE SACRED HUNT:
Hunter’s Oath
Hunter’s Death

THE SUN SWORD:
Broken Crown
Uncrowned King
Shining Court
Sea of Sorrows
Riven Shield
Sun Sword

THE HOUSE WAR:
Hidden City
City of Night
House Name
(Skirmish) 2012

Over the years, I’ve written novellas tied into the universe in which these novels are set, and all but one are out of print. So I’m here, in part, to at least make the stories available as epubs from here on :)

I *also* write novels as Michelle Sagara, for Luna & for DAW:
