Alayna Ravenwood lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband and three children. Most days, she can be found stepping over toys, tripping on shoes, and wondering how she became the family chauffeur. When she’s not chasing her kids or a cup of coffee, she’s dreaming of faraway lands and character that refuse to let her sleep until she writes them down.

Alayna’s love of storytelling began the moment she opened her first copy of Harry Potter and realized books could hold entire worlds. Since then, she’s been creating her own worlds filled with magic, love and inevitable darkness.

Her debut romantasy series, The Cursed Realm Saga, is set to launch in the fall of 2026. Beyond writing, Alayna is passionate about helping women rediscover their self-worth and supporting others to live boldly and authentically. She believes joy and light are meant to be shared, and that storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to do it.

Alayna publishes her works through Aurelia Press, an imprint of Aurelia & Orion Publishing.
