I. V. Marie was born to a Peruvian mother and a Chilean father in Miami, where she acquired a penchant for afternoon cafecitos and developed an all-consuming obsession with books. Her writing ambitions began behind her grandparents’ computer, where she spent her childhood crafting spooky and fantastical short stories. When she is not writing, you can find her rock climbing or watching atmospheric YouTube videos with her dog, Mr. Darcy. She is the author of the instant New York Times bestseller Immortal Consequences and its sequel, Ruinous Ends.
