Lyra Selene

Lyra Selene is an American fantasy author based in New England who spent a formative year as a child in rural Ireland, an experience that later shaped the Celtic mythology and landscape underpinning her fiction. She began with the young-adult duology Amber & Dusk, and moved into adult romantasy with the Fair Folk trilogy, opening with the Sunday Times bestseller A Feather So Black and continuing through A Crown So Silver, a series drawing on Swan Lake and Irish folklore to tell a story of twisted magic and forbidden romance between morally gray characters. Her writing is characterized by lyrical prose and brooding, folklore-steeped settings.
