About the Author

Ryan Elledge is an epic fantasy, science fiction, and horror author who has been crafting stories in his mind since he was a child. He has been actively working toward publishing since graduate school, starting with The Light of Shadows, the first of three novels in A Balance of Shade and Radiance. He lives with his wife, son, and their dog, Smaug, who is far less ferocious than her namesake, but no less tyrannical. She spends her days in tireless combat with their robotic vacuum, Bilbo.
