Makia Lucier writes young adult historical fiction set in worlds that feel grounded in real history even when the details are invented. Her books are interested in what happens after catastrophe — how people rebuild, how they find purpose, and what they owe to the places and people they come from.
Lucier’s work includes the Tower of Winds duology, beginning with Isle of Blood and Stone (2018), which follows cartographers and explorers in a Mediterranean-inspired setting. Her standalone novels range from the 1918 flu pandemic (A Death-Struck Year) to a medieval kingdom haunted by plague (Year of the Reaper) to the tropical setting of Dragonfruit (2024).
