About the Author

Lani Lenore is a weaver of shadows, a teller of tales where beauty walks hand-in-hand with ruin.

Known for her dark reimaginings of beloved fairytales and original gothic fantasies such as The Hallowed, The Needle’s Eye, and the Nevermor Trilogy, Lani built her name on stories that slipped beneath the skin—stories of cursed lovers, fractured innocence, and heroines who carved their names into silence and stone.

After a years-long retreat from writing, she returns with The Hollow Queen series: a sweeping, sensuous dark fantasy saga about power, vengeance, desire, and the making of an evil queen. It is her most personal and ambitious work to date—bold, unapologetic, and richly steeped in the themes that have always called to her.

Whether unraveling a haunted dream or a tyrant’s heart, Lani Lenore writes for those who long to peer into the dark—and see themselves there.
