I bleed every dawn to keep the gods and monsters caged.

I'm a Keeper, born and raised to hold the Forbidden Gate against the gods of Olympus or risk the doom of humanity. But when the gate's seals begin to crack, the four princes don't attack.

They claim me.

The Dragon, the Wolf, the Bear, and the Phoenix. They are the enemies of mankind, yet they look at me with hunger, not hate. They tell me that I'm the key to their freedom.

Suddenly, the truths I’ve bled for look like lies. Hunted by my own order and branded a traitor, I have to decide: Do I save the world? Or do I let my monsters burn it all down for me?

Helen Scott

Helen Scott’s stories are worlds where magic thrives, mysteries unfold, and love is as complicated as it is inevitable. A writer whose imagination knows no bounds, Helen takes readers on journeys through realms filled with danger, romance, and self-discovery. Born and raised in the rolling hills of New England, she draws inspiration from the eerie beauty of the landscape, infusing her works with an atmosphere of both wonder and suspense.

From her first book, Whispers of the Forgotten, to her more recent Veils of Fate series, Helen has carved a niche in the fantasy and paranormal genres. Her novels are known for their intricate world-building, strong-willed protagonists, and the way they explore complex themes of identity, belonging, and transformation. Whether it’s a hidden magical world colliding with reality or a forbidden romance defying all odds, Helen’s writing is defined by her ability to balance heart-pounding adventure with poignant emotional depth.

Helen's approach to storytelling is deeply personal. She writes the kinds of stories she herself loves to read—ones where the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear, and characters must navigate their own complicated paths toward understanding themselves and the world around them. Her writing is rich with layered characters who face extraordinary circumstances, but it’s their internal struggles that drive the heart of each story.

Over the years, Helen has cultivated a dedicated following, with fans praising her unique voice and ability to blend supernatural thrills with relatable human experiences. While she remains grounded in the quiet charm of her small town, her stories resonate far beyond, capturing the hearts of readers who crave not only adventure but also the intimacy of well-crafted, deeply personal narratives.

When she’s not writing, Helen can often be found sipping tea and working on her next plot twist, or losing herself in the latest fantasy novel. She believes in the power of storytelling to connect, heal, and inspire, and it’s this belief that fuels her ongoing journey as an author.

In every page of her books, readers can feel Helen’s commitment to creating something unforgettable—stories that are both a reflection of the world we know and a glimpse into the worlds we’ve yet to discover.
