During the last book in the series, Gods & Monsters, we discover the source of magic while traveling to the British Isles and into the realm of Celtic Mythology and the Fair Folk.

Sylvia-Marah Boune grew up in the mountains of Sonoma County and spent her childhood days playing outside and her nights dreaming of fantastical places. When she wasn't designing clothing for Barbies, she was writing stories in manilla composition books.
In high school, she devoured books by L. J. Smith, R.L. Stein, and her personal favorite, Lois Duncan. Her taste in books was colored by a fascination with mysteries and the supernatural. It isn't much of a surprise she became a speculative fiction writer with a penchant for fantasy.
When Sylvia-Marah reached college age, she moved to Santa Cruz, California, where she studied literature, film, creative writing, and history of consciousness, before graduating from UCSC with a B.A. in Modern Literature.
Sylvia-Marah always wanted to be a writer, but until recently she relegated this desire to her fantasies, believing it unrealistic.
For 13 years Ms. Boune worked at the bench, as an accomplished goldsmith. Since March 2020, she has been working exclusively as a writer.
Sylvia-Marah hasn't met a medium of storytelling she doesn't like. Because of this obsession, she is a creative writer, book reviewer, and a film, TV, and culture writer.
