The Daughter of Smoke and Bone books tell the story of Karou, an art student in Prague who was raised by chimera — creatures with the bodies of animals and the intelligence of humans. When she discovers her connection to an ancient war between angels and chimera, her life takes a dark and fantastical turn.
The trilogy, which includes Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Days of Blood and Starlight, Dreams of Gods and Monsters, and the companion novella Night of Cake & Puppets, has been praised for its lush prose, inventive world-building, and emotionally complex romance. Written by Laini Taylor, the series blends mythology from multiple traditions into something distinctly its own.
