Step Into the Dark, Delicious Worlds of Melinda Salisbury.

Melinda Salisbury is the internationally acclaimed, award-nominated queen of darkly compelling Young Adult fiction. Known for her gorgeous world-building, high stakes, and unforgettable, messy female protagonists, she invites you into worlds where love, betrayal, and power are all razor-sharp weapons. Melinda crafts women who are driven by fierce emotion—anger, ambition, and a refusal to be palatable. You'll root for them, even as they break the rules.

From the desolate, grief-stricken lands of the State of Sorrow duology to the sinister, atmospheric folk horror of Hold Back The Tide, her settings are characters in themselves.

Whether she’s reimagining Greek mythology in the powerful Her Dark Wings or introducing a poisonous protagonist in her bestselling debut, The Sin Eater's Daughter series, Melinda fearlessly explores the darkness within society and ourselves.

A four-time Carnegie-nominated author, her work has been shortlisted for major accolades, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the YA Book Prize.

If you crave fantasy and suspense with a cutting edge and a whole lot of heart, it's time to discover Melinda Salisbury.
