An exclusive one-off London event with international bestseller Olivie Blake as she introduces us to The Atlas Complex, the much-anticipated, heart-shattering conclusion in the trilogy that began with the dark academic phenomenon, The Atlas Six. With her is Sunday Times bestseller Elizabeth May to discuss her brand new novel To Cage a God; an electrifying Slavic-fantasy exploring a world of gods and magic and in the first of a brand new duology.
Olivie and Elizabeth are hosted by bestselling author of Sistersong and podcast host Lucy Holland, whose upcoming novel Song of the Huntress is a dark, feminist fantasy set amidst the legends and beauty of ancient Britain.
Olivie Blake, the pseudonym of Alexene Farol Follmuth, is a lover and writer of stories. She has penned several indie SFF projects, including the webtoon Clara and the Devil with illustrator Little Chmura and the BookTok-viral Atlas series, plus international bestsellers One For My Enemy, Masters of Death, and Alone With You in The Ether. As Alexene, she has written the young adult romcom My Mechanical Romance. She lives in LA with her family.
Elizabeth May is a Sunday Times bestselling author of science fiction and fantasy novels, including Seven Devils, Seven Mercies, and the Falconer trilogy, and historical romances under the pen name Katrina Kendrick. She writes about monsters and monster slayers, empire destroyers and rebellions, assassins and spies. Sometimes they live in palaces, and sometimes they live in the stars, and some of them fall in love. She lives in Scotland.
Lucy Holland is an ex-bookseller and co-host of the award-winning feminist podcast Breaking the Glass Slipper, which looks at women in genre fiction. She lives by the sea in Devon with her cat, a piano and a bedroom full of stories just one mile from Romano-British ruins.
