Background

Authorial Context: Ana Huang

Bestselling author Ana Huang writes YA, New Adult, and contemporary romance novels. As the daughter of Chinese parents, Huang often features Asian American characters in her novels–Vivian and her family in King of Wrath are Chinese American. Her background in International Relations and her travels often inspire her to include beautiful destinations in her stories, including Bali in King of Wrath. She is best known for her Twisted series and for her alpha heroes and strong heroines. Huang often writes within the dark romance sub-genre, which is known for morally grey (and often brooding) male heroes, some elements of danger and angst, and explicit sex.

Huang has been writing since she was young, but she only began self-publishing her novels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The “BookTok” community on TikTok has played a major role in her marketing process, allowing her to gain a large following and tap into readers’ interests and desires for their reading experiences. When her Twisted series became a viral phenomenon, her books were picked up by Sourcebooks’ Bloom imprint in 2022.

Series Context: Kings of Sin

King of Wrath is the first book of the Kings of Sin series, in which the male hero of each novel is guilty of one of the seven deadly sins: wrath, pride, greed, sloth, envy, gluttony, and lust.
