Zander Wolfe writes the kind of fantasy he always wanted to read—filled with dangerous magic, forbidden love, and women who refuse to be tamed. He's a firm believer that the best stories are the ones that make you feel something long after the last page. He's from the Midwest, which means he grew up with a love for bonfires, thunderstorms, and people who wave at each other while driving for no good reason. When he's not writing, he's probably at the gym, hiking some quiet trail, painting late into the night, or getting lost in a romance novel he told himself he bought "for research." Zander drinks too much coffee, listens to fantasy soundtracks like they're gospel, and has a soft spot for sad movies and complicated characters. He writes because he believes fantasy should be just as raw and emotional as it is epic—and because sometimes, the heroine deserves everything she wants.
