I'm Eleanor. I was minding my own business, trimming my hedge when bam! Vampire! (Bampire?) At least that’s what the pointy-fanged guy called himself before I staked him. And to make matters worse, my best friend revealed he’s a half-elf Fae and I’m a Fae princess.
Now I’m in a race I don’t quite understand to open gates I’m not entirely sure should be opened to save the Fae Realm. My half-elf friend is guiding me on this quest, but we both need some personal growth if we’re gonna make things work. He needs to get over the hope that I’ll ever be in love with him, and I need to get over the fact that he deliberately infiltrated my life by order of my Fae father.
Not everything on this whirlwind quest is bad, though. Meet Mr. Tall, Dark, and Sexy werewolf, who is along for the ride. Between everyone and everything, there are too many secrets to sort out, and I feel like I’m the only one playing this thing straight. But when one of them stabs me in the back, I'm not sure I can survive two realms trying to hunt me down…
Amy Cissell is a USA Today Bestselling Author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance novels. She lives in Porto, Portugal with three cats (Frank aka Franklin aka Franklin Delamew Catsevelt aka Frank the Tank, Giles aka Rupurrrt Giles aka Gilly Giles aka Dummy, and Loki aka Lokster aka Loki von Lokenstein aka Dumbass aka STOP THAT RIGHT NOW OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?), her amazing teenager, and her husband (urban fantasy author extraordinaire C. Thomas Lafollette).
Amy is a witch and atheistic pagan with practices rooted in Norse and Celtic traditions. She has more tarot and oracle decks than she knows what to do with (although you can pry them from her cold, dead hands, and she's probably out shopping for more RIGHT NOW) and desperately needs more magic rocks.
In addition to writing a heapload of apocalypse-heavy fantasy, Amy co-hosts the Cliffhangers and Cocktails podcast with Shéa MacLeod.
She’d definitely climb into the back of a windowless van for free champagne, and loves well-timed puns, cozy evenings with a good book, and a family Minecraft session.
Although she reads anything and everything, her first love has always been fantasy. Amy was raised in Narnia and Prydain and Valdemar, but it wasn't until she was 11 and 'borrowed' her father's copy of The Hobbit that her enduring love affair with fantasy (ok, ok - you caught her - the love affair was mostly with dragons) was born.
