First in a “wildly inventive and wildly representative” (The New York Times Book Review) historical fantasy series, Roshani Chokshi’s The Gilded Wolves follows the exploits of a found family—six societal outcasts tasked with stealing a powerful artifact that can alter their lives for the better, but at the cost of breaking the world.
All eyes are on Paris where the Exposition Universelle World Fair is to be held. Hidden among the technological marvels and artistic creations on display is an item of unimaginable power—a Babel fragment that would enable those who wield it with magical Forging abilities over nature’s elements.
Séverin Montagnet-Alarie's birthright was stolen from him. Now, to reclaim his rightful place among France’s elite, he must obtain the Babel fragment for the Order. It is a heist that will require the ingenuity and skills of those with nothing to lose and everything to gain: Enrique, a gifted historian and wordsmith, caught between two worlds; Zofia, a brilliant Forging artist and engineer, separated from her family; Hypnos, a rival aristocrat who needs an ally among the Order; Tristan, an extraordinary Forger raised at Séverin’s side, loyal to his adopted brother’s quest; and Laila, the mysterious dancer and espionage artist who stole Séverin’s heart in a moment of vulnerability he couldn’t afford.
But as the dangerous risks of their escapade surge, Séverin finds himself torn between his desire for revenge against all those who wronged him and the people he’s deliberately placing in harm’s way—including the woman he loves and fears to lose…

The Gilded Wolves
The Gilded Wolves
10 books in catalog
Fantasy literature drawing from world mythology and folklore has found a prominent voice in rich mythological reinterpretations and young adult fantasy adventures like Aru Shah and the End of Time. Roshani Chokshi made an immediate impact with her debut fantasy series, establishing herself as a New York Times bestselling author whose works span middle grade fiction, young adult sagas, and adult Gothic fantasy. Her middle-grade debut received wide critical acclaim and was named by Time Magazine as one of the Top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time.
Born on February 14, 1991, in St. Louis, Missouri, Roshani Chokshi grew up in a multicultural household with a Filipino mother and a Gujarati father. She attended Emory University and earned early recognition as a 2008 Pushcart Prize nominee, publishing short fiction in speculative literature venues such as Strange Horizons, Uncanny Magazine, and Shimmer. Her debut novel, The Star-Touched Queen, launched a bestselling young adult fantasy career that quickly expanded into middle-grade mythic fiction.
Chokshi's career continued to expand with The Gilded Wolves trilogy, set in late nineteenth-century Paris, which includes sequel novels such as The Silvered Serpents and The Bronzed Beasts. Her middle-grade Pandava series gained immense popular success with titles like Aru Shah and the Song of Death. Branching into adult fiction, her Gothic debut novel The Last Tale of the Flower Bride reached the top position as a #1 Sunday Times bestseller. In addition to her writing, Chokshi serves on the National Leadership Board for the Michael C. Carlos Museum.
Chokshi's writing style is characterized by lyrical prose, intricate historical detail, and atmospheric worldbuilding. Drawing heavily from Indian and Filipino mythologies as well as traditional fairy tales, her stories explore themes of cultural identity, family legacy, memory, and the power of myth. Across her young adult works, including The Swan's Daughter, she blends heist elements, historical fantasy, and ancient legend.
Her works have achieved international readership and have been translated into more than two dozen languages. International editions of her fantasy sagas include translations such as Los lobos de oro, Las serpientes de plata, Las bestias de bronce, Pozłacane wilki, and Os Lobos Dourados, showcasing the worldwide appeal of her mythological storytelling.
