Autorenporträt
I'm Thoren Syndergaard, a Canadian young-adults medieval fiction author. I have a passion for the Middle Ages, gender equality, and strong, female, character-driven, coming-of-age stories. My books are informative, humorous in parts, full of twists, and hold-onto-your-seat excitement. Expect heroic battles, devious villains, action-packed adventure, love, loyalty, deception, intrigue, subterfuge, and betrayal. Raised on a diet of medieval comics, novels, and movies, I knew at a young age that I wanted to share my passion with others. As an elementary school educator, my favorite subject to teach was life during the medieval era. I invited authors to the school library, bused my students to the Medieval Times dinner and tournament, visited museums, constructed catapults, and brought in falconry and weapons experts. I did everything humanly possible to bring history alive in my classroom.
