Ryliana has been writing since childhood and was rarely seen without a book within arm’s reach. Though life pulled her away from that dream for a while, one quiet day she asked herself, “Why not?” That spark led to the creation of her first series, Lost Secrets of Mictoriel: a sweeping high fantasy laced with mystery and a thread of romance. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and dreams of the children they hope to welcome one day. When she isn’t lost in the world of Mictoriel, Ryliana can be found curled up with a new book or baking something sweet in the kitchen.
