Marc J Gregson

Marc J. Gregson writes the kind of fantasy that makes you believe the sky really could fall—if not from weight, then from truth. His breakout YA trilogy, Above the Black, begins with Sky’s End, a story that drops readers into a world of floating islands, sky serpents, and brutal airborne arenas where survival isn’t a given—it’s a gamble. At the center is a boy fighting for far more than glory, and beneath the sweeping adventure lies Gregson’s signature touch: emotional gravity wrapped in high-stakes wonder.

A former middle school English teacher from Salt Lake City, Gregson understands exactly what young readers crave—adventure with heart, danger with meaning, and characters who don't always get it right the first time. It’s no coincidence his books strike a chord with teens and adults alike. His writing doesn’t condescend; it dares. Dares readers to dream, to grieve, to question. To imagine a world that could only exist above the clouds—and what it would cost to bring it crashing down.
