"Nation creates a sparkling array of unusual settings and creatures that will appeal to fantasy aficionados...

On the third night of the third month in 2003, 14-year-old Kaleb Nation suddenly imagined a boy and a banker on a roof, waiting for a burglar to come. From that original idea was born the story of Bran Hambric. The novel would take most of Kaleb's teenage years to complete. Aside from writing, Kaleb is a blogger and former radio host; he is the creator of the wildly popular TwilightGuy.com. His personal website is KalebNation.com. He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA and is now 21.
