Maelan Holladay was born and raised in the bay area. When she isn't lost between the pages of a book, she can be found doing archery, training crows, or re-watching the same movie for the hundredth time. She enjoys stories with complex worlds, morally-gray characters, and mythical creatures. She is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in animal biology.
The Storm Gathers is a delight, an exhilarating tale of elemental
witches, magic schools, rebellions and power games. The world is
big, fresh and full of energy, and the characters fizz with secrets
and undiscovered feelings. Sparky dialogue, lashings of humour and
a propulsive plot will leave readers desperate for more by the
story's end. An intriguing start to what promises to be a stellar
series.--David Wragg, author of the Articles of Faith series
Fast-paced, thrilling, and full of stormy seas, pirates, and
witches. The Storm Gathers feels modern and fresh while harking
back to the best fantasy traditions, with a world that is expansive
and wholly original. Holladay is definitely an author to
watch.--Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days
There is one thing I like more than fast-paced fantasy, and that is
fast-paced fantasy with pirates. I inhaled this book. I was
transported in three different directions and was engrossed in
every point of view. Somehow, The Storm Gathers managed to feel
fresh and wholly unique, whilst still paying homage to my favourite
fantasy elements of old. Maelan Holladay builds worlds you want to
be lost in. The Storm Gathers is a warm embrace for all readers of
fantasy.--Stacey McEwan, author of The Glacian Trilogy
