Emily Bellman is a historical fiction and fantasy writer. Her debut novel is The 11th Code, Parts 1 & 2. Although she ended up working in marketing, she has always found herself intrigued by stories that explore unconventional love, address criticism regarding those who use religion to oppress and harm people, and portray women who really don’t need saving (by men).

Emily currently lives in Germany (you can probably find her exploring various castle ruins, churches, and museums across Europe).

Quotes by Emily Bellman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It should’ve been this moment, this crucial instant, that shattered Reydon’s illusion about Danial into a million little pieces. He steeled himself to stand up there and then, to leave Reydon to collect the broken remains of his fantasy. Danial raised his eyes to meet Reydon’s squarely, hardening himself for the disappointment he would find there. But all he saw was faith, a fire that far outmatched the feeble embers of burning heather between them. And it reverberated against something inside Danial. As if Reydon radiated an invisible energy that sent an important part of Danial into vacillation.”
