Morgan Rhodes is a prolific Canadian author, best known for her gripping Falling Kingdoms series. This fantasy book series for young adults has captivated readers with its rich storytelling and complex characters. The narrative follows the lives of four teenagers, Cleo of Auranos, Jonas of Paelsia, and Magnus and Lucia of Limeros, as their worlds are turned upside down by a shocking murder that leads to a war among kingdoms. The Falling Kingdoms series, comprising six novels - Falling Kingdoms, Rebel Spring, Gathering Darkness, Frozen Tides, Crystal Storm, and Immortal Reign - spans from 2012 to 2018. Additionally, Rhodes introduced a spin-off series beginning with A Book of Spirits and Thieves, further expanding the rich universe she created. Despite the series' success, the third book in the spin-off series, The Cursed Heir, was indefinitely delayed in 2018 due to declining sales of the preceding books.
Aside from her contributions to the realm of fantasy literature, Rhodes has also made her mark under another pen name, as a national bestselling author of many paranormal novels. Her journey into writing was motivated by a childhood dream of becoming a princess - one capable of wielding a sharp sword to save kingdoms and princes alike. Instead, becoming a writer has allowed her to explore endless worlds and adventures. Beyond writing, Rhodes is passionate about photography, travel, and reality TV, and is known for her discerning and voracious reading habits. She resides in Ontario, Canada, where she continues to inspire readers with her storytelling.
