In a post-apocalyptic ice age, neomage Thorn St. Croix was nearly driven insane by her powers. She lived as a fugitive, disguised as a human and married to a human man, channeling her gifts for war into stone-magery.

When she was discovered, her friends and neighbors accepted her, but warily. Not so the mage who arrives from the Council of Seraphs, who could be her greatest ally – or her most dangerous foe. And when it's revealed that her long-gone sister, Rose, is still alive, Thorn must make a choice – and risk her own life in the process.

Faith Hunter

Faith Hunter

Faith Hunter’s writing feels like a walk through a Southern swamp—lush with mystery, brimming with danger, and full of the unexpected. Born in Louisiana and raised throughout the South, Hunter’s connection to her roots runs deep, and it’s this rich backdrop that has inspired some of the most compelling urban fantasy novels in recent years. Her Jane Yellowrock series, featuring a Cherokee shapeshifter and vampire hunter, is a perfect example of how she weaves personal heritage into dark, complex worlds. In her hands, the supernatural becomes not just a playground for action but a canvas for exploring identity, survival, and the bonds that hold us together—or tear us apart.

But Faith's journey to becoming a full-time writer wasn’t a direct path. After earning a degree in Allied Health Technology, she worked for years in a rural hospital. It wasn’t until later in life that she took the plunge into writing full-time. And the gamble paid off. With Jane Yellowrock, Faith gave readers a heroine who is as fierce as she is complex. Jane isn’t just hunting vampires; she’s wrestling with her own nature, her history, and the ever-present question of what it means to be both human and something more.

Beyond the Jane Yellowrock series, Faith Hunter has expanded her storytelling prowess into other realms. The Soulwood series, for example, delves into the supernatural with a different twist—focusing on a woman bound by both a powerful magic and a mysterious past. The theme of self-discovery runs strong through her work, a theme she knows well from her own evolution as a writer.

Faith’s writing is driven by her love of intricate world-building and her characters' emotional journeys. Her style blends the gritty suspense of a thriller with the imaginative reach of fantasy, and it’s this combination that makes her work stand out in a crowded genre. She’s not just creating monsters and magic—she’s creating characters who feel like they might walk right off the page and into your life.

When she’s not writing, Faith enjoys quiet days in South Carolina with her husband, often surrounded by books, her beloved kayaks, and a well-worn journal. She also finds time to explore her other passions, like RV travel and jewelry making, which often inspire the small details that make her stories feel so alive. Through it all, Faith remains a writer who is always looking for the next adventure—whether it’s in a book, a new world, or within herself.
