Shannon R. Lir is an adult fantasy romance author. Her favorite stories are about young women with sharp daggers, perpetually smirking love interests, and all shades of morally gray characters. She loves anything to do with magical worlds and has been trying to immerse herself in the ones between the pages of books she loves or the ones she writes all her life. She briefly studied creative writing at the University of Southern California before leaving to pursue a major deemed to be more practical. She’s written every day since.

This Deceit of Ours is Shannon’s debut novel and the first book in the Reign of Soulless series. Connect with her at shannonrlir.com or follow her on Instagram.
