Brittany Riley

At just twenty-two years old, Brittany Riley published Enchantment, the first book in The Enchantment Series.

Enchantment is the first book in a series of five. It tells the story of nineteen-year-old Elise Dawson, the immortal lightbearer faerie who has a dark secret her parents have hidden from her since birth. Set in modern day England, Enchantment follows the journey of Elise as she discovers her true identity as the all-powerful water elemental and her struggle as she comes to terms with the fact her existence initiates war with their enemies, the banshees. The banshees are also faeries, but a screeching, soul-stealing version. Elise is forced to flee from London and hide in Menithwood, the birthplace of her lightbearer species, where she meets Christian Vanderbilt, a kind yet dangerous banshee whom Elise quickly falls for despite the consequences. The news of the water elemental being alive is spreading all around the world, and Elise is forced to defend her secret and her life. Enchantment ends with an unwelcome surprise arriving on Elise’s doorstep that sets the framework for the next book.

She loves mythology and folklore, and hopes that by writing Y.A Fantasy, readers will find an escape from monotonous existence. She believes that the teen years are a very volatile time of life. It's a time when you question your own identity and lust for adventure, romance and intrigue. It is Brittany's hope that The Enchantment Series encompasses all these things and will leave readers desperately needing more.

Apart from writing, Brittany's passions also include coffee, cats, reading, shopping and binging on TV shows like Reign, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars.
