He is the winner of four Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, nominee for the Locus award, David Gemmell Morningstar and Legend awards, named multiple times in the Kirkus and Amazon Best Teen Books list and published in over thirty countries, most of which he has never visited.

He abides in Melbourne with his secret agent kung-fu assassin wife, and the world's laziest Jack Russell. He does not believe in happy endings.
"Kristoff again graces his story with hilarious asides, vicious
competition, and a protagonist as relentless as she is fearless.
Her brutal world is populated with a fascinating array of
characters who often meet dismal and bloody fates.... Through
tragedy, betrayal, and victory, this glorious adventure thrills and
satisfies with cold violence, terrifying monsters, roaring crowds,
and bloody honor." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Sexier,
grittier, fiercer, bloodier -- Jay Kristoff's Godsgrave is an
action-packed showstopper. ... Godsgrave thrums with unrelenting
tension and suspense and you won't know what to do with yourself
once it's over." --USA Today "I feel like I really can't do this
book justice with words. But it is in fact bloodier, sexier,
stabbier and badassier (just go with it) than Nevernight.
Seriously, who knew that was even possible? Questions are answered,
many more are asked and we are slowly fed more information about
Mia's past." --The YA Circle blog on Godsgrave
"Kristoff has put together an excellent follow-up to Nevernight,
and it will not disappoint....Things get more and more intense in
just about every area of Mia's life, and it's all leading to a
showstopping conclusion in book three. I'll be waiting for it!"
--The Eater of Books blog on Godsgrave "Godsgrave is intense and
dark... There's a lot of dynamic and strong characters especially
the women. The last 80 pages will leave you shouting your head off
and it's never info dumped or out of left field.... If you like YA
fantasy but want more sex and blood and language, read Nevernight
and then quickly follow it with Godsgrave..." --Bang Bang Books
blog on Godsgrave
"The Nevernight Chronicle is a fantastic story. Absolutely original
work, fantastic interaction between characters, a well developed
world and politics. Jay is truly an amazing writer." --Burkhead's
Books and Bad Reviews blog on Godsgrave
"All I can say is "Wow!" I'm speechless with wonder, with awe at
the twists and turns the story had taken. Though I'm expecting
things not to go swimmingly for Mia, I never imagined the routes
the plot would take to bring her to where she was by the end of the
book." --The Romance Reviews blog "I rate this book a glowing 5 out
of 5 stars! Perfect for fantasy readers who love a badass heroine,
assassins, action, and blood!" --The Introverted Book Nerd blog
"Come for the vengeful assassins, stay for the fear-drinking
shadowcats. Godsgrave is a stylish, fast-paced and welcome return
to the world of Nevernight." --Peter Newman, award-winning author
of The Vagrant "Launching the Nevernight fantasy series, Kristoff
(the Lotus War trilogy) creates a splendid world of corruption and
violence. Kristoff portrays a world as rife with villains and
treachery as the ancient Italian civilizations it echoes. Absorbing
in its complexity and bold in its bloodiness, this beginning
promises (and delivers) equal shares of beauty and
decay."--Publishers Weekly, starred review on Nevernight "A
sensuous, shades-of-moral-gray world; a compelling, passionate
heroine; a high-stakes quest for revenge--this is a fantasy fans
won't be able to put down."--Kirkus Reviews on Nevernight "The
world-building is delightfully detailed, its baroque flourishes
supplied by sarcastic footnotes, but we are drawn through the
narrative by Mia's triple quest: to rescue her family members, to
avenge her father's death and to survive her education at the
church, where the ultimate test is to avoid being killed by the
training."--The Daily Mail on Nevernight "Kristoff's new fantasy
series is off to a rollicking start."--Booklist on Nevernight "A
very entertaining and well thought out story with a very readable
main protagonist and her sidekick set at it's heart.... It's dark
and twisted with a great streak of humour that softens some of the
blows. An excellent start to series and one that I'm really looking
forward to continuing with." --The Speculative Herald blog on
Nevernight "The innovative setting, fast-moving plot, vivid
descriptions, and thrilling action scenes make this a refreshing
addition to the steampunk canon." --Publishers Weekly, starred
review on Stormdancer "Soars higher than the arashitora Kristoff
writes about; superb." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review on
