R.M. Gray is an author and full-time mac and cheese enthusiast who hails from a quaint Texas town best known for its soda, shiplap, and mammoth graveyards. She lives beside a field of bluebonnets with her film fanatic husband and two giant dogs, where she enjoys writing stories about pirates, magic, mystery and all things fantastical. A self proclaimed expert at whistling and a dedicated collector of lightsabers, she spends her days drinking too much earl grey tea, rewatching old cartoons, and thinking up new ways to break readers' hearts.

"Hand this book to readers who would take their Downton Abbey with a side of sword fights and pirates." --BCCB

"Offers enough twists and turns to keep readers' attention."--Kirkus

"Gray spins [this] tale with polished prose, brisk storytelling, and a welcome sense of what a fantastical life actually feels like... Blending the freshly inventive with genre traditions, Nightweaver and its promised sequel will appeal to YA fantasy fans who adore conflicted love triangles and strong young women on a mission."

--BookLife Reviews

"From the blood-soaked decks of pirate ships to the shadow-drenched corridors of Bludgrave Manor, Nightweaver is a tempest of vengeance and forbidden desire. R.M. Gray paints a world where danger lurks like shadows beneath the waves, teeming with monsters, magic, and breathtaking twists that will leave you gasping for air. A debut that glimmers with unforgettable characters, thrilling adventure, and a world as dark and seductive as the ocean depths. You won't want to put this down." --Logan Karlie, author of Dream by the Shadows
