Harry Connolly is an American author who writes dark fantasy and urban fantasy. His first published novel, Child of Fire (2009), launched the Twenty Palaces series with Del Rey Books. The series follows Ray Lilly, an ex-convict pressed into service as a “wooden man” (expendable helper) for the Twenty Palace Society, a secret organization that hunts down predatory magic.
After the Twenty Palaces series was dropped by its publisher, Connolly self-published additional books in the series and turned to epic fantasy with The Great Way trilogy (2014-2015). He also wrote One Man (2019), a secondary-world fantasy noir set in a city of fallen gods, and the standalone A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark (2014). His short fiction has appeared in several multi-author anthologies.
