Rylee

My name is Rylee and I was a Tracker.

The final battle is over and The Blood of the Lost was spilled. In the aftermath, the humans still have mysteries they call upon me for. Except I can no longer Track, and my new abilities terrify me.

A salvage is offered to me, and with it a chance to redeem myself. A missing girl, her brother desperate to find her. Simple and straightforward, this salvage should be a piece of cake - and a chance to learn some discipline with my powers.

Except the girl is somehow tied to the world of the Elementals, and with that comes a danger I could never have expected.

As I search for her, I realize it is not only her life that is on the line, but my soul and sanity as well, as the voices and unnatural needs in me grow more demanding.

If I am to save us both, I must face the darkness within; and this time, I must do it all by myself.

With a knack for blending heart-pounding action and richly layered characters, Mayer’s work transports readers to darkly enchanting realms where magic is real, and the stakes are often life and death.

Born in Canada, Mayer discovered her love for writing in her early teens, but it wasn’t until adulthood that she fully embraced her passion. What started as a hobby turned into a full-fledged career as Mayer began publishing her work in 2011, and she hasn’t looked back since. Her writing journey began with the Rylee Adamson series, an urban fantasy collection that quickly became a fan favorite. The series, which follows Rylee—a tracker with the unique ability to find anything—blends mystery, supernatural intrigue, and fierce emotional depth.

But it wasn’t just the supernatural elements that drew readers in. Mayer’s books are rich in character development, with protagonists who are flawed yet fiercely resilient, navigating their complex inner worlds as much as the dangers lurking in theirs.

Her success is undeniable. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Mayer has built a loyal fanbase and carved out a space for herself in the crowded world of urban fantasy.

Mayer’s ability to tackle serious themes like loss, identity, and healing within a fantastical context resonates with her audience. Her stories feel like more than just escapism—they offer a reflection of the human experience wrapped in the magic of the supernatural.

In addition to her work in urban fantasy, Mayer has also ventured into paranormal romance and magical adventure, with series such as The Alpha Territories and The Inkbound series gaining attention for their unique takes on familiar tropes. Her recent releases, including Gossamer and Inked in Ashes, show Mayer’s ability to constantly evolve her craft, delivering fresh and exciting stories for her growing audience.

Through every book, Mayer’s voice remains consistent—fast-paced, emotional, and utterly compelling. She writes not just to entertain, but to connect, to inspire, and to take her readers on a journey they won’t soon forget. Whether you’re drawn to the allure of supernatural creatures, the emotional depth of her characters, or the world-building that makes each setting feel alive, Mayer’s books are a window into a world where anything is possible.

Mayer’s success is a testament to her unwavering dedication to the craft of storytelling. She’s carved a niche for herself in the literary world by creating books that blend the fantastical with the deeply personal, creating worlds that are as captivating as they are transformative.
