Behind The Pen

Ancient courts and quiet craft

Isabelle Sumner writes character-driven fantasy filled with political intrigue, ancient dragons, divided loyalties, and people who rarely say exactly what they mean.

Her debut novel, Where the Sky Breaks, is the first in a planned fantasy trilogy set in the world of Eren. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found reading fantasy, obsessing over fictional politics, or spending far too much time making maps.
