Ashley Shuttleworth is a Canadian author who writes young adult urban fantasy. Their debut novel, A Dark and Hollow Star, was published in 2021 and launched a four-book series set in a version of Toronto where fae courts operate alongside the human world.
Shuttleworth’s work is known for its diverse cast of queer characters, its use of mythology from multiple folklore traditions, and its blend of modern city life with old fae politics. The series follows four protagonists whose stories intertwine as they investigate a series of murders tied to the fae. All four books were published between 2021 and 2024, with the final volume, A Wild and Ruined Song, wrapping up the story.
