Welcome!

I’m Z.L. Whitcher, reader, author, and romantasy lover. I write stories with epic stakes, costly magic, and just enough angst to keep you up past your bedtime.

My debut novel, Shadowslayer, is the first in a planned four-book romantasy series about half-sisters torn apart by bloodlines and prophecy. One is forced to rise through a brutal magical academy, the other claws her way to power inside a prison built to erase her. They’re fighting toward the same goal: each other.

I live in Melbourne with my family, a few too many dying plants, and a long-suffering laptop. By day, I work in advertising (click here to see more). By night, I try to turn chaos into chapters and fuel the process with caffeine and questionable snack choices.

If you’re into masked kings, rebellious heroines, and ancient powers that probably shouldn’t be disturbed, you’re in the right place.
