Books in Order: A Comprehensive List of Kacen Callender's Works

Kacen Callender, who grew up in Saint Thomas, studied Japanese and creative writing before earning an MFA through The New School's Writing for Children program. Before writing full-time, they worked as an editor at Little, Brown — publishing-industry experience that came before the Stonewall Book Award and Lambda Literary Award recognition for their novel Hurricane Child.

This guide covers a different two-book entry in their catalog: Queen of the Conquered (2019) and its sequel, King of the Rising (2020) — a fantasy duology that shows the same sharp character work that's defined their career.
