"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you"  - Maya Angelou

Kathryn Thornwood

I am an Ph.D. astronomer who uses the time not thinking about this universe to dream up other fantastical universes (and especially magical systems that obey the laws of physics!). I write adult fantasy that builds the worlds around the relationships between the characters.  I have 2 fully completed adult fantasy manuscripts looking for representation.

The Dragon in the Gilded Cage

The Dragon in the Gilded Cage

Daya was told dragons were violent, and Caliban the worst of them. Then she became his guard. Instead of trying to kill her (save for once), he invited her to breakfast. What do you do when everything you know is a lie? Eat first then spark a revolution.

"No sadist could hide anymore after the fire we threw at each other. It was the moment I realized that someone had lied to me, and maybe to you too."

— The Dragon in the Gilded Cage

“The agreement was a sincere apology.” Robin folded her arms, and held the gaze of those crimson and silver gray eyes; she wasn’t going to let him win this one. “And you have not given us that.”

— The Sons of Nighthaven

“You took me by surprise, and in a single burst you incapacitated me. If I’d fought back with all my power, perhaps we would have killed one another but then… you stopped attacking. And that made me stop.”

— Songs Through the Ether (current project)
