edit data

Raelynn Davennor writes fantasy romance and fairytale retellings—usually of the darker variety—and is the author of the Curses of Never and The Phantom of Notre Dame series, both of which became viral BookTok hits.

She is known for her diverse and morally complex characters, as well as her ability to craft heart-wrenching plots that explore heavy themes. While she is a firm believer that light cannot be fully appreciated without first traveling through heaps of darkness, Raelynn always ensures that her characters find their well-deserved happily ever afters—especially the LGBT+ ones.

When not obsessing over her latest idea, she enjoys pampering her menagerie of pets and pretending she isn’t an adult.

Quotes by R.L. Davennor (?)

“Love is not possession. It is allowing another person the freedom to be who they truly are and allowing yourself the same.”

“The entire city had come to watch me die, and I couldn’t decide whether that was unsettling or comforting.”

“Love may be patient, and love may be kind, but one thing love wasn’t was freedom. The more time I spent with Esmeralda, the more I felt tethered to her, like she was my yoke and my savior all at once.”
