🖋️ About the Author - Elias Gray

Elias Gray is the kind of writer who doesn't draw maps, he plants seeds.
He describes himself as a "gardener writer," inspired by George R. R. Martin's philosophy. He doesn't always know how his characters will get there, but he knows exactly where they're going. The path is theirs. He just follows them with curiosity and wonder.

By profession, Elias holds a PhD in science. But it's in fiction that he explores the questions :

What does it mean to carry darkness inside you?
Can broken people be whole again?
What if the villain's story was never truly told?

The Shadowbound trilogy is his love letter to complexity, to the gray spaces between right and wrong, light and dark, hero and monster.

Through Bel's desperate journey for identity, Erica's quiet resilience, Jace's unwavering loyalty, Selena's trauma-warped rage, and Elliote's haunting mystery, Elias invites readers not to judge these characters, but to walk beside them.

He hopes you see yourself in their flaws.
He hopes you root for them even when they fall.
And most of all, he hopes this world makes you feel just a little less alone in yours.

Because sometimes the ones born in the shadows are the ones who shine the brightest.
