Shadefire: The Warrior Queen
The Shadefire Saga
An elemental crown. A hidden legacy. A girl forged in flame and frost.
In a world where elemental bloodlines shape kingdoms and forgotten gods stir beneath the surface, a reluctant warrior awakens a power long lost to legend.
She saved a fae queen.
She never expected to inherit a legacy that could reshape the world.
Left for dead by the man she trusted most, Brianna never imagined her salvation would come at the hands of a wounded fae—let alone a queen bearing a child and a prophecy.
When Brianna risks everything to protect the fae queen from a brutal ambush, she is gifted something no mortal has ever elemental magic born of both flame and frost. The power was meant to lie dormant—but it answers her. And it changes everything.
Now hunted by enemies ancient and unseen, Brianna must master her volatile gift before it consumes her from within. But corruption is rising, twisting the land, awakening ancient weapons—and whispering of a queen who will either restore balance… or shatter it completely.
As secrets unravel and alliances ignite, Brianna must decide whether she’s merely a survivor…
—or the warrior the world has been waiting for.

About the author
Danielle Bryan
8 books99 followersI didn’t start writing to become an author—I started writing to get the stories out of my head. One lyric in a song, a random comment overheard in passing—that’s all it takes. Suddenly, I’m somewhere else entirely, inside a world my mind has begun to build. What I didn’t realize at first? Getting one story out only makes room for more. It’s less “creative relief” and more “my brain is a hydra.”
I’m a native Floridian who’s settled in North Central Florida and now works in Ocala. I write emotionally driven, genre-blending fiction under both my name, Danielle Bryan, and the pen name Celestine Quinn, exploring survival, identity, and the ever-shifting line between control and chaos—whether that chaos is magical, psychological, or romantic.
My debut novel, Mirrorborn: Carnival After Dark, was described as “a haunting, lyrical descent into the maze of memory and self.” Readers have called it “a living dream stitched with memory,” “an experience we were grateful to share together,” and “a mirror held up to our souls.” The sequel in the Mirrorborn saga releases in November 2025.
Right now, I’m drafting several projects, including Torn By Obsession—a slow-burn romantic thriller about resilience, obsession, and control—and a fantasy epic where Lyra, a young woman with hybrid blood, bonds with Astrid, a spectral white wolf destined to change the balance of the packs.
Writing as Celestine Quinn, I dive into seductive, high-stakes thrillers like Playing the Part, the first in the Bodyguard Series. Writing as Everley Starr, I turn inward—into memoir, poetry, and song—exploring healing, transformation, and the quiet aftermath of survival. My debut as Everley, Scars into Light, is now available—a raw, intimate journey through pain, resilience, and the beauty of finding your voice again.
My writing process is part obsession, part ritual—late nights, color-coded spreadsheets, and ideas multiplying faster than I can organize them. I once used a whiteboard to keep track of it all, but eventually outgrew it. Too many stories, not enough space.
These days, I’m juggling multiple works-in-progress with an eye toward both traditional and experimental storytelling—including vertical formats—because, well… the Hydra never sleeps.
