Irene Edwards is a New York–based author who writes stories for readers who still believe there’s a little mischief and magic left in the world. Her epic fantasy novels combine sprawling worlds, political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and unforgettable characters who fight for hope even when the odds seem impossible. Inspired in part by her time living in the Nordics, she created the world of Oraith—a place where humans have forgotten the fae, ancient powers are awakening, and old stories refuse to stay buried. She is the author of the Stones of Oraith series, beginning with Of Iron and Moonlight. When she’s not writing, she’s usually planning her next adventure, exploring somewhere new, or getting lost in a good book.
