Layla Harper is the adult romantasy author of the Gods and Fate and Court of Bones and Ash series. She writes high-stakes epic fantasy romance with ancient magic and vengeful gods who collide with the fierce women daring to defy them. A New England native, Layla crafts immersive worlds woven with swashbuckling adventure, fated mates, and grumpy, lethal protectors. When she isn’t dreaming up her next fantasy realm, she is in her studio hand-pouring story-themed candles or sewing bookish accessories that bring the magic of her worlds into the real one.
