Natasha Ngan

Career Ngan is represented by Taylor Haggerty at Root Literary.

Standalones Her debut novel The Elites was published by Hot Key Books in September 2013, about a teenager who has to protect the city as a warrior because of her genetically superior DNA. Ngan names 2001 book Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve as well as the works of writers Patrick Ness and Paolo Bacigalupi as some of her influences for the novel, due to their "original" and "exotic"-feeling settings. It was published in 2014, also by Hot Key Books. Ngan had the idea for writing the novel during a family holiday in Seville, where she found herself wishing to be able to bottle up the memories and relive them again and again, a concept which ultimately served as the basis for the premise of the novel. Ngan says the first spark of the story originated from the idea of wanting to write about two courtesans of a demon king who fall for each other instead of for him. The novel tackles topics like sexual assault, homophobia, and the commodification of women's bodies.

The second novel in the series, Girls of Storm and Shadow, picks up right after the events of the first, following Lei and Wren as they travel the kingdom to gain favors from rebel clans after the assassination of the Demon King. Girls of Storm and Shadow was released in November 2019.

The last and final novel, Girls of Fate and Fury, was published in 2021.
