When a fallen daemon named Lucien breaks a sacred rule by speaking to a four-year-old girl who can see him, he is bound to her by an unbreakable tether. As Wilona grows into the center of an ancient prophecy, Lucien discovers the greatest threat isn't what she's destined to become, but the person she's slowly transforming him into.
About Anne Shelley
Champion for the Underdog. Lyricist. Bibliophile.
Anne Shelley is an American writer, poet, lyricist, and the author of the forthcoming novel Without Wings. A professionally trained child and family therapist, she has spent much of her life advocating for underdogs and giving voice to those who are often overlooked.
​
Her love of young adult fantasy, urban fantasy, historical fiction, mythology, and the complicated ways people survive suffering eventually led her into fiction. Her writing explores the darkness we inherit, the choices that shape us, and the possibility of healing without pretending that healing is simple.
Originally inspired by the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, Anne now writes from her home in Beacon, New York, in the Hudson Valley. She shares her days with Henry Dickens, her opinionated cat, and Hamish, her devoted dog and constant companion. Her beloved Amore remains part of the heart behind her work.
​
Anne also writes original music connected to her stories. Follow her newsletter, Ashes and Thorns, for reflections on writing, mythology, music, and the world of Without Wings—where Lucien has been known to take over from time to time.
