Ali, S K
Entry updated 23 June 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) Indian-born journalist and author, in Canada from early childhood, whose first novel, the associational Young Adult tale Saints and Misfits (2017), attracted some attention. She is of sf interest for the Keeper's Records of Revolution sequence beginning with Fledgling: The Keeper's Records of Revolution (2024), set in a devastated Near-Future world bifurcated into lands of the wealthy and lands of the impoverished (see Zone). An arranged marriage between a girl of privilege and an attractive prince of Lower Earth, designed to ease cultural unrest, goes astray. Some resolution may be expected to unpack in a second instalment. [JC]
