Alexandra Christo, ktorá sa rozhodla písať knihy už ako štvorročná, keď jej učiteľka povedala, že nemôže byť víla, vnáša do literatúry svet plný fantázie. Jej príbehy často skúmajú témy identity a reality, prostredníctvom pútavého a imaginatívneho štýlu. Keď práve nevymýšľa príbehy, rada objavuje londýnske kulinárske špeciality a podlieha kórejským drámam, čo sa odráža v jej schopnosti vytvárať živé a podmanivé svety. Alexandra má bakalársky titul v odbore kreatívneho písania a jej diela si získavajú čitateľov svojím jedinečným šarmom.

From the author of To Kill a Kingdom and Into the Crooked Place comes the second in a spectacular fantasy duology, in a world thriving with black magic.
ESCAPE INTO THE EPIC NEW FANTASY FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION, TO KILL A KINGDOM.
From Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom, comes The Night Hunt, a dark fantasy romance about a monstrous girl who feeds on fear and the Gods-cursed boy who falls in love with her. Atia is a monster who feeds on fear. As the last of her kind, she hides in the shadows of the world to escape the wrath of the unpredictable Gods. Silas is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead as punishment for a past he can’t remember. Stripped of his true name, he yearns to recover his identity. Atia would never dream of allying with someone like him, but when she breaks a sacred law and the Gods send monsters to hunt her, Silas offers an irresistible deal: he’ll help avenge her family and take on the Gods who now hunt her, if she helps him break his curse and restore his humanity. All they need to do is kill three powerful creatures: a vampire, a banshee, and one of the very Gods who destroyed both their lives. Only together can they finally rewrite their destinies.
Into the Crooked Place begins a gritty two-book YA fantasy series from Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom. The streets of Creije are for the deadly and the dreamers, and four crooks in particular know just how much magic they need up their sleeve to survive. Tavia, a busker ready to pack up her dark-magic wares and turn her back on Creije for good. She’ll do anything to put her crimes behind her. Wesley, the closest thing Creije has to a gangster. After growing up on streets hungry enough to swallow the weak whole, he won’t stop until he has brought the entire realm to kneel before him. Karam, a warrior who spends her days watching over the city’s worst criminals and her nights in the fighting rings, making a deadly name for herself. And Saxony, a resistance fighter hiding from the very people who destroyed her family, and willing to do whatever it takes to get her revenge. Everything in their lives is going to plan, until Tavia makes a crucial mistake: she delivers a vial of dark magic—a weapon she didn’t know she had—to someone she cares about, sparking the greatest conflict in decades. Now these four magical outsiders must come together to save their home and the world, before it’s too late. But with enemies at all sides, they can trust nobody. Least of all each other.
