Jenn Lyons

Mike Lyons

Twice-nominated Astounding Award finalist, Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta with her husband, her cats, and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. After spending thirty years working as a graphic artist, art director, and video game producer, in that order, Lyons now spends her days writing fantasy. Her five book epic fantasy series, A Chorus of Dragons, begins with "The Ruin of Kings." Her latest release is the standalone fantasy "Green and Deadly Things."

Burn It All Down

From monsters bound by fragile treaties to necromantic powers that could save or doom the world to star-crossed lovers choosing sides in revolution, the authors of these stories ask: What must we give up to challenge the status quo?
