“It was a cool, rainy evening in Estaviel City when Estarion's Archduke decided not, after all, to give his in-laws the gift of his own early demise.”
Stephanie Burgis grew up in Michigan (USA), but now lives in Wales with her husband and two kids, surrounded by mountains, castles and coffee shops. She writes sparkling fantasy rom-coms, including Wooing the Witch Queen (the first in the Queens of Villainy trilogy), the Regency Dragons series, the Harwood Spellbook series, and more. She has also had eight fun MG fantasy novels published, including the Raven Crown duology and the Dragon with a Chocolate Heart trilogy.
