Jessica Stiles writes adult epic fantasy filled with dangerous magic, political tension, and characters who survive first and heal later. Her debut novel, Stormforged, blends elemental powers, rebellion, and slow-burn romance in a gritty world where a king hunts the magically gifted to reclaim stolen power.

When she isn’t writing about storms, fire, and morally complicated people making terrible decisions under pressure, Jessica works as a detective in North Carolina. She lives on a farm with her three kids, a growing collection of animals, and the kind of weather that feels suspiciously fantasy-coded.

Her stories are driven by survival, loyalty, found family, and the belief that power rarely comes without a cost. If you like adult fantasy with sharp tension, cinematic action, emotionally restrained characters, and romance that doesn’t take over the plot, you’re probably in the right place.
