About the author

I fell in love with reading through the Harry Potter series, and my first step into the romance genre, as a teenager, was with Nora Roberts. Then later on, I ventured into the land of epic fantasy and I only leave to read passionate love stories.

It’s no surprise that my writing is influenced by these genres. My novels fall into the fantasy romance genre; but my short stories cover a wider range, filled with plenty of fantastic elements.

Ghosts, dragons, demons, elves, time travel, witches and more are all within the realm of what I love to write and read about.

I was born and raised in Europe, and I still live here with my husband and beautiful son. Hopefully, my cultural background adds some extra spice to my stories you’ll love and enjoy.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. The plot and characters were intriguing. I just felt that there could have been more world-building, especially at the beginning. I would be interested in reading the sequel to see how the story continues.

Thank you for this ARC 🩷

The main characters weren't annoying which is sort of a big thing. The plot had me hooked and I read this book relatively fast.
My only thing is that I felt like it needed more world building and at some points it was somewhat confusing.
Although I did actually like this book a lot. I would recommend and read again!

This was a lovely read with interesting characters. You can really tell how much this author built up each character in this arch. The adventure and the tension are unmistakable. I'm just not so sure on how some of the back story is structured. Overall, I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
