About the Author

Erin Caldwell

"I write for the readers who fall asleep dreaming of kingdoms they've never seen and love stories they're afraid to want."

Erin Caldwell writes dark romantasy and paranormal romance about mortal women who have no business surviving Fae courts — and the cold, impossible kings who cannot quite figure out what to do with them.

She builds worlds soaked in shadow and firelight, where the magic is dangerous, the politics are treacherous, and the romance will make you forget to breathe.

What She Writes

Morally Complicated Fae. Stolen Crowns. Love That Costs Everything.

Erin's debut series, The Stolen Throne Trilogy, is set in Velanthor — a Fae realm of obsidian palaces, ancient power, and politics sharp enough to kill. It follows Leah Merritt, a former pickpocket turned accidental queen, and Soren, the Unseelie King who has spent two centuries not feeling anything and is deeply inconvenienced by the current situation.

Expect forced marriages no one asked for, courts that want the heroine dead, slow-burn tension that builds across three books, and a hard-won happily ever after that earns every page it took to get there.
