Their breakout series, Beasts of the Briar, begins with Bonded by Thorns, a lush, emotionally layered tale that reimagines Beauty and the Beast through a romantasy lens. Here, fae princes clash, curses unravel, and a mortal woman—Rosalina—must navigate a world where love can be as dangerous as any blade. The book climbed to #4 on the Sunday Times fiction hardback list, a rare feat for a debut novel in the fantasy romance space, and solidified the sisters’ place among the genre’s rising stars.

Each installment that followed—Woven by Gold, Forged by Malice, and Broken by Daylight—built upon that rich world with new tensions, slow-burn romances, and high-stakes intrigue. Readers have come to expect the perfect alchemy of lyrical prose, sharply drawn characters, and just the right touch of steam—an Elizabeth Helen signature.

Their writing partnership is rooted in something deeper than convenience. Raised on stories, games of make-believe, and eventually Dungeons & Dragons campaigns of their own design, the sisters developed a natural rhythm in their storytelling—a trust that lets them finish each other’s sentences and sharpen each other’s plots. Living in the middle of a rainforest on Vancouver Island, they write surrounded by the misty woods and moss-covered branches that could easily belong to one of their enchanted realms.

When asked what drives their stories, they’ve said it’s the desire to explore what it means to choose love, even when it’s inconvenient, even when it hurts. That emotional honesty, wrapped in world-shifting magic and deliciously tense relationships, is what keeps readers coming back for more.

Whether you're stepping into their world for the first time or eagerly awaiting the next fae prince to steal your heart, one thing is certain: Elizabeth Helen is a name that now belongs to the fantasy romance canon—and they’re only just getting started.
