Elena Marlowe

Elena Marlowe writes romantasy about the bargains we make when love and survival pull in opposite directions. Her debut, A Bargain of Embers and Bone, opens The Ember Court series: a hidden fire-wielding heroine, a shadow prince with a curse creeping toward his heart, and a blood-sealed bargain neither of them can afford to break. Elena is drawn to enemies who become allies, engagements that start as lies, and heroines who refuse to be anyone's pawn. Her stories live in sunlit kingdoms and shadow courts, where magic has a price and every promise is a trap waiting to spring. When she is not writing, she is plotting the next impossible bargain, rereading her favorite slow-burn romances, and collecting morally gray heroes like other people collect bookmarks. The Ember Court continues with the next book in the series.
