Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s nine standalone novels cover remarkable range. The Girl of Ink and Stars (2016) launched her career with a children’s adventure about a girl who maps an island’s dangers, and she followed with The Island at the End of Everything (2017) and The Way Past Winter (2018), each set in vivid, emotionally charged landscapes.
The Deathless Girls (2019) moved into young adult territory with a vampire origin story, and The Mercies (2020) marked her transition to adult fiction with a historical novel set among the witch trials of seventeenth-century Arctic Norway. The Dance Tree (2022) returned to historical fiction with the strange true story of a dancing plague in medieval Strasbourg. Julia and the Shark (2021) brought her back to younger readers, and Almost Life (2026) continues her adult fiction.
