About the author

Rea Alexandris lives in the vibrant city of Brussels with her husband, their three lovely children, and an endlessly curious cat who seems to have stepped straight out of one of her stories. Surrounded by the blend of history and modernity that Brussels offers, she finds inspiration in the whispers of ancient legends and the magic hidden in everyday life.

A lifelong dreamer and avid reader, Rea Alexandris has always found solace and adventure in the pages of fantasy novels. Writing, for her, is more than just a creative outlet—it’s a way to explore the complexities of human emotion, the beauty of resilience, and the power of hope. She believes fantasy allows us to confront real-world challenges through the lens of imagination, where courage and transformation become possible for anyone.

Currently, she is immersed in creating The Chronicles of Aeryndor, a sweeping epic that delves into forbidden magic, rebellion, and the personal journeys of characters caught in the struggle for freedom and self-discovery. The saga is more than a story; it’s a testament to the strength found in embracing who you are and fighting for what truly matters.

But her storytelling doesn’t stop there—Rea Alexandris already has two more sagas outlined, ready to take readers on new adventures in richly imagined worlds.

When she’s not crafting stories, Rea Alexandris can be found chasing after her children, wandering through the streets of Brussels for inspiration, or curling up with a cup of tea and her cat, plotting the next twist in her tales.
