Born in 1964, Katia Fox grew up in Germany and southern France, before beginning her career as an interpreter and translator. After the birth of her third child, she turned her attention to the English Middle Ages and started to research blacksmithing. That research inspired The Copper Sign and The Silver Falcon, the first two installments in her captivating trilogy set in medieval England. She lives with the youngest of her three children, splitting her time between Provençe and a small town near Frankfurt, Germany. She also visits England as often as possible to continue her research. The Golden Throne is her third novel.
