Ana Calin

Ana Calin writes paranormal romance and dark gothic fantasy in which supernatural politics and dangerous relationships shape one another. Within her Legends of the Fae trilogy, Of Shadow and Smoke follows Forbidden Fae and leads into Deadly Fae. The sequence centers on fae realms, magical conflict, and the relationship between Neve and Prince Salazar Shadowthorn. Calin’s catalogue ranges across vampires, dragon shifters, warlocks, and rival fae courts, with linked series including Fae of Darkness, Fae of Fire and Ash, and Dracula’s Bloodline. Fantastic Fiction identifies her work with paranormal romance, while her own writing presents mythic beings through modern, character-focused stories. Of Shadow and Smoke occupies the middle position in a compact three-book arc, allowing it to develop consequences established in Forbidden Fae while preparing the concluding struggle in Deadly Fae. That serial placement is central to understanding the novel’s mixture of romance, magic, allegiance, and escalating danger.
