Sangu Mandanna’s standalone novels range from YA science fiction to cozy adult fantasy. The Lost Girl (2012), her debut, tells the story of Eva, a girl created as a replacement for another girl named Amarra, who struggles with questions of identity and what it means to have a life of your own. Color Outside the Lines (2019) is an anthology she edited featuring stories about interracial and cross-cultural relationships.
Her breakout hit, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (2022), is a warm, character-driven fantasy about a witch named Mika Moon who finds a family of misfits at a crumbling English country house. Looking ahead, Vanya and the Wild Hunt and A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping are both scheduled for 2025, continuing Mandanna’s move into cozy fantasy for adult readers.
