About the Author
Micki Janae is an author on a mission. Tired of growing up with scant representation of young Black women in fantasy, Janae took matters into her own hands to craft OF BLOOD AND LIGHTNING (the first book of The Godender Saga), a compelling novel full of -intricate world-building, electrifying storytelling, and diverse characters. Currently, Janae is studying at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, where she continues her passion for literature and explores visual creativity as a budding filmmaker with an eye on expanding the voices of young Black women in both fields. Micki Janae lives in Birmingham, AL.

Reviews

"Janae's writing style is compelling ... A fast-paced debut." --Kirkus Reviews


"Micki Janae's novel Of Blood and Lightning sizzles with excitement as a diverse group of high schoolers are swept into a world of myths . . . An engrossing epic novel in which teenagers battle an older generation of deities and monsters."--Foreword Reviews


"In her electrifying debut novel, Of Blood and Lightning, Micki Janae rebirths the gods of Olympus for a new generation. In prose that is thrilling, vivid, and full of palpable human emotion, Janae tells a story of grief, love, power, and the strength we all need to face our past to make a better future. From start to glimmering finish, this is a novel with unstoppable light, unflinching spirit, and remarkable skill. What a debut!" -Ashley M. Jones, Poet Laureate, State of Alabama


"Percy Jackson meets Legendborn and it's so much fun! Ophelia, who has lost a lot in her young life, meets new friends and later they learn they are descended from the greek gods. So much action and a deep dive into the mythology makes this a series to watch." --Audrey Huang, Bookseller, Belmont Books


"Engagingly written with a charmingly heartbroken lead, Of Blood and Lightning feels like a modern twist on the classic YA era. It's filled with humor, heart, and a surprising amount of chills and bloodshed that's in no way sanitized. This is an absolute win for teen readers!" --Sami Ellis, author, Dead Girls Walking
