Dr. Kyrie Wang is a board-certified Diagnostic and Molecular Pathologist from Quebec, Canada. She bikes all winter and fuels her writing sessions with abundant dark chocolate. By day, she makes life-changing diagnoses with her trusty microscope. By night, she channels her love of history and medicine into richly imagined, character-driven young adult historical fantasy.
She is passionate about crafting stories where people find their authentic selves, goodness prevails, and the forgotten rise as heroes. Her debut series, Enemy’s Keeper, transports readers to an alternative medieval world where a peasant healer must decide who to save—and the last Vikings obtain gunpowder.
