Jasmine Walt didn’t set out to build a fantasy empire. She just couldn’t stop imagining what might happen if witches cracked jokes during spellwork, or if dragon riders argued mid-flight. That curiosity turned into Burned by Magic, her first published novel, and the spark behind a body of work that has since captured the attention of readers across the globe. With multiple entries on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists, her stories have become a gateway for fans who crave fast-paced adventure with a supernatural edge.
Best known for The Baine Chronicles, Jasmine weaves urban fantasy and paranormal romance into stories where tough heroines don’t just save the day. They question the rules, fall for complicated allies, and talk back while doing it. Whether it’s the smoky alleys of a magical city or the skies above Elantia, her worlds are vivid, gritty, and filled with the kind of tension that comes from mixing danger with desire.
Her characters don’t fit neatly into boxes. They’re flawed, unpredictable, and often forced to confront choices that blur the line between right and wrong. This moral complexity runs through her work, making even the most fantastical stakes feel grounded and emotionally real. Readers looking for strong female leads, found families, forbidden magic, and sharp dialogue tend to find themselves staying up way too late flipping pages.
Before she was an author, Jasmine ghostwrote under various pen names, sharpening her skills while quietly dreaming up the worlds she would one day claim as her own. That path, part hustle and part instinct, taught her to write stories that move quickly and land hard. These days, she splits her time between writing and training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a discipline that shows up in her fight scenes just as much as in her mindset. She also shares her home with Dexter, a Boston Terrier who occasionally photobombs her writing days.
With more than 60 books spanning series like Of Dragons and Fae, Her Dark Protectors, and Empire of Eternal Night, Jasmine Walt has carved out a space where fantasy doesn’t have to choose between intensity and fun. Her stories deliver both, wrapped in magic, mayhem, and just enough romance to keep things interesting.
If you're in the mood for supernatural drama with bite, heroines who refuse to stay in their lane, and magic that doesn't follow the rules, Jasmine's books are waiting. Just be warned, once you start, it's hard to stop.
