Bethany Adams has loved fantasy ever since finding a copy of The Hero and the Crown in her elementary school library. After subjecting her friends to stories scrawled in notebooks during study breaks all throughout high school, she decided to pursue an English degree at Middle Tennessee State University. When not writing or wrangling her two small children, she enjoys reading, photography, and video games.
Gabrielle de Cuir, award-winning narrator, has narrated over three hundred titles and specializes in fantasy, humor, and titles requiring extensive foreign language and accent skills. She was a cowinner of the Audie Award for best narration in 2011 and a three-time finalist for the Audie and has garnered six AudioFile Earphones Awards. Her “velvet touch” as an actor’s director has earned her a special place in the audiobook world as the foremost producer for bestselling authors and celebrities.
Stefan Rudnicki is a Grammy-winning audiobook producer and a multiaward-winning narrator, named one of AudioFile’s Golden Voices.
