Jacqueline Carey was born 1964 in Highland Park, Illinois. Her first novel was Kushiel's Dart, published by Tor Books, and the recipient of the Locus Award for Best First Novel. The Kushiel's Legacy trilogy, completed with Kushiel's Chosen and Kushiel's Avatar, follows the story of a courtesan in a historical fantasy or alternate history (Terre d'Ange) society that follows a demi-god, Elua, whose precept is "Love as thou wilt".

The Imriel trilogy is a continuation of the storyline started in Kushiel's Legacy.

Carey's second fantasy series is "The Sundering," consisting of Banewreaker and Godslayer. It is a story in the vein of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but told as a tragedy, largely from the point of view of the "dark" side.
