British author Madeline Taylor is the creator of the international phenomenon Heir of Illusion, a fast-paced and adventurous romantasy series of the highest calibre. The first book in the series, Heir of Illusion, was self-published in March 2024, and it did not take long before readers embraced the story of the young woman Ivy and the mysterious stranger Thorne—soon followed by major publishers and literary agencies. The book has been sold for publication in 17 countries, and the Danish edition, Heir of Illusion – Skyggens hævn, was released earlier this spring. Photo: Lauren White
