About the author

Eric Wanner spent his formative years exploring the ancient cities and festivals of Central Europe, developing a deep love for the gritty reality of the medieval period. Now a hobby writer and parent to a teenage boy in Stuttgart, he channels that passion into YA dark fantasy novels where the intrigue of noble courts is just as dangerous as the city's thief-ridden underbelly. When not writing, he's traveling with his family or arguing with his son over the best doner kebab in town.
