Leigh Bardugo, Author Of ‘Shadow And Bone’

Leigh Bardugo is among the most celebrated young adult novelists of
our time. She’s the author of - among many novels - 'Shadow and
Bone,' a fantasy series with over 2.5 million books sold. It’s now
a Netflix hit that became the most streamed show in the U.S.
earlier this year, according to Neilson. But getting to that
promised land was not easy. On Art of Power, Bardugo tells host
Aarti Shahani about her many ups and downs: an absent father, an
awkward adolescence, the loss of her editor at a pivotal moment,
and an abusive relationship with a man that threatened to
extinguish her career before it began.
