Lucía Ashta

Lucía Ashta is an author of fantasy fiction spanning magic-school stories, witch mythology, and science fantasy. Her Magical Arts Academy and Magical Creatures Academy series follow students navigating supernatural education, part of a broader Witching World that also includes Witches of Gales Haven, built around a coastal town of practicing witches. Ashta's When the... sequence, including When the Lightning Strikes and When the Sun Burns, extends her interest in elemental and wolf-shifter mythology through the Wolf Destinies and Wolf Honor books. Her Planet Origins series moves into science fantasy, while Royals of Embermere applies a similar magic-focused approach to a court-fantasy setting. Across seventeen linked series and more than eighty titles, her catalog is united by richly detailed magic systems and academy or community settings for practicing witches.
