Renee Ahdieh (born July 7, 1983) is an American-Korean author, best known for her New York Times best-selling series The Wrath and the Dawn duology. Her books have been translated into many languages. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill[1]. Currently, she resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, Victor, and their dog, Mushu.

Early life

Renee Ahdieh was born on July 7, 1983. She spent her first years of childhood growing up in her mother's homeland of Seoul, South Korea. As a young child, she enjoyed reading and grew fond of fantasy, romance, and history. As a result of her heritage, Ahdieh looked for novels that supported diversity, even at an early age. She enjoyed and later drew inspiration from a variety of authors, such as Paulo Coelho, Isabel Allende, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Rabindranath Tagore, Diana Gabaldon, Naguib Mahfouz, Anne Rice, Salmon Rushdie, and Libba Bray.[2]

Career

On May 12, 2015, G. P. Putnam's Sons released Ahdieh's novel, The Wrath and the Dawn, the first in a duology. She envisioned a re-imagining of One Thousand and One Nights, which is a famous collection of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian folktales. She also drew inspiration from her husband's Persian family heritage.[3] The sequel, The Rose and the Dagger, was published on April 26, 2016. Though she first planned this series as a trilogy, her publisher encouraged her to focus on a duology to avoid series fatigue.[4] In addition to the two novels, Ahdieh also released three short stories in this re-imagined world within a few months of each other in 2016.

Imagine Entertainment optioned the film rights to The Wrath and the Dawn in 2016.

On May 16, 2017, Ahdieh released Flame in the Mist, the first book in her new duology with nods to the East Asian stories she loved as a child. For this novel, she found inspiration in strong female characters, such as Hermione Granger and Mulan. Since she felt out-of-place at times as a mixed-race child, she often writes novels that expand on different perspectives and hopes to create characters that show varying levels of strength.[4] This novel features a strong heroine that disguises herself as a man to defeat a dark clan that attempted to slaughter her just before an arranged marriage. A sequel titled Smoke in the Sun was released June 5th, 2018.

The Beautiful, the beginning of a new series set in 1872 New Orleans, is slated for publication on October 8, 2019.

Her current agent is Barbara Poelle of the Irene Goodman Literature Agency.[4]
