About Us

Meet S.C. Allen The Mind Behind the Magic

S.C. Allen is a fantasy romance author with a love for morally gray characters, slow-burn tension, and stories laced with magic and truth.


Her debut novel, Heir of Shadows, is the first in a romantasy trilogy perfect for fans of forbidden love, found family, and reluctant heroines who are more powerful than they believe.


Originally from Catalonia, she eats too much chocolate, loves cooking, and believes everything in life is tied to a song and a scent. When she’s not writing, she’s likely dreaming up plot twists and tropes or overthinking storylines while lifting weights at the gym.


She’s always had a vivid imagination and the kind of dreams that feel like alternate realities. Heir of Shadows was born from one such dream – experienced twice, four months apart. The second time, she knew she couldn’t ignore it. So she wrote it down… and never stopped.

Heir of Shadows

The Aetherbound Series book 1

She was raised in a palace built on lies. Now she must decide if she's ready to burn it down.

In the kingdom of Alinora, magic is a weapon of control, and 26-year-old Princess Ciara has become her father’s sharpest tool. Trained to deceive, she plays the role of the spoiled royal – masking her sharp mind and darker truths to protect her people and the only person she cares about. But when whispers of a long-buried rebellion begin to rise and the cracks in her father’s rule widen, Ciara finds herself caught in a dangerous game of secrets and power.

As strange surges of magic awaken within her and a prophecy she was never meant to fulfill begins to take shape, Ciara must navigate fragile alliances and unravel the lies she was raised on – before the kingdom she was born to inherit collapses from within.
