Elisa A. Bonnin was born and raised in the Philippines, then moved to the United States to study chemistry and later oceanography. After completing her doctorate, she moved to Germany, where she now works as a scientific writer. A lifelong learner, Elisa is always convinced that she should “maybe take a class in something” and as a result, has amassed an eclectic collection of hobbies. But writing will always be her true love. Publishing a book had been her dream since she was eight years old, and she is thrilled to finally be sharing her epic fantasy stories. She is the author of Dauntless, Stolen City, Lovely Dark and Deep, and her forthcoming novel, The Night King’s Court.
