Elise Kova is an American author of fantasy and 'romantasy', a bestseller whose books blend epic magic with deep, swoony romance.
She wrote her first novella in the sixth grade and never really stopped; she self-published her debut, Air Awakens, in 2015, and has written full time ever since, publishing both through her own independent press, Silver Wing Press, and through major houses in the years since. Her work has become an international bestseller, translated into more than ten languages.
Air Awakens, a five-book young-adult epic fantasy, launched her career, but she may be best known now for Married to Magic - a set of standalone fantasy romances in a shared world, among them A Deal with the Elf King and A Dance with the Fae Prince, each pairing a mortal heroine with a dangerous magical ruler. Her range extends from the blood-magic gaslamp adventure of the Loom Saga to the magical-competition drama of A Trial of Sorcerers and the dark academia of her recent Arcana Academy.
A lifelong gamer and daydreamer, she writes the kind of immersive, emotionally charged fantasy - equal parts world and heart - that keeps readers up long past bedtime.
