Elizabeth Wein was born in New York and grew up in England, Jamaica, and Pennsylvania. She holds American and British citizenship and has lived in Perth, Scotland, since 2000, where she earned her private pilot's license. Flight inspires her fiction, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Code Name Verity.

  • "Fascinating details of the war, such as the impact of extreme cold in the winter of 1942, are peppered throughout taut battle scenes. Nastia’s bravery and commitment to her country is palpable across this dynamically told war tale that reimagines well-known history."
     
    Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review
  • “Nastia’s fierce loyalty to her country and commitment to her work shine through, supporting the engrossing and fast-moving plot with depth of characterization.
    An action-packed exploration of courage and loyalty.” – Kirkus Reviews (Firebird)
     
    Of THE LAST HAWK they say: “Full of courage, heart, and perceptiveness.” – Kirkus Reviews (The Last Hawk)

    "This piece of the War Birds Cycle will appeal to readers interested in aviation,
    World War II, and female empowerment."
    – Booklist (The Last Hawk)
     
    “This slim, gripping, and tightly woven novel effectively introduces characters who are full of heart and resilience. Strongly paced and emotionally resonant.” – Kirkus Reviews (White Eagles)
