Louise Daerr writes character-driven fantasy about ordinary people facing extraordinary danger. Her stories explore resilience, moral complexity, and the bonds that hold people together when the world is falling apart. Rooted in British and Irish folklore, her work blends magic, politics, and atmospheric world-building with slow-burn romance, high-stakes vulnerability, and moments of fierce compassion.

When she’s not writing, she can usually be found baking something that tastes better than it looks, playing board games that get far too competitive or collecting more books than she has time to read.
