Jacqueline Pawl

Jacqueline Pawl is a Young Adult and New Adult fantasy author known for crafting immersive worlds filled with ruthless assassins, intricate court politics, and unexpected twists. Her debut novel, "Merciless," launched a Throne of Glass-inspired series featuring a hardened assassin, a cunning prince, and a tyrannical king. Drawing from her love of fantasy epics, Pawl's works often blend high-stakes adventure with sharp-witted characters and morally complex narratives.

A self-professed Slytherin, Pawl infuses her stories with cunning protagonists and cutthroat intrigue, reflecting her admiration for morally gray heroes. Her academic background in French Language and English Literature from the University of Stirling informs her rich worldbuilding and lyrical prose. Residing in Scotland, she draws inspiration from its folklore and landscapes, though she humorously admits her degree primarily fueled her already insatiable reading habit. Pawl continues to expand her fantasy repertoire, appealing to readers who crave dark, action-packed tales with a touch of wit.
