MICHELLE ZINK lives in New York and has always been fascinated with ancient myths and legends. Never satisfied with simply reading them, she usually ends up asking, “What if?” Sometimes asking only leads to more questions, but every now and then, when everything falls into place just right, a story is born. Her first book is one of those stories. Publishers Weekly called Prophecy of the Sisters “a captivating tragedy,” and it was also named to Booklist ’s 2009 Top Ten First Novels for Youth. The second book in the Prophecy series, Guardian of the Gate, will be published in August 2010.
