About the author

Celeste Baxendell has always read anything she could get her hands on, but once she read her first fantasy novel, she was hooked and hasn’t looked back since.

Her love of magic, adventure, and romance hasn’t waned with age, and she endeavors to write nail-biting stories with compelling, complex characters, and finding light in dark times.

She is incredibly blessed to spend her time writing from her favorite chair with her legs curled up under her as she fights the southern heat. When she isn’t writing, she’s either reading, drawing, or sewing, in that order, and most likely thinking about writing as she does.

Reviews

[Kessa Turnbull]

I already knew Celeste Baxendell was cruel (though it doesn't make me love her any less), but to have Faustina never love Nikias? The poor boy. I'm even more anxious for the next book now.

I've reread this an embarrassing about of times...
