Author: Annabel Chase

Annabel Chase writes urban fantasy and paranormal fiction shaped by mythology, hidden magic, humor, and found family. A former lawyer with both United States and British citizenship, she began publishing fiction in 2011 and has built several long-running supernatural series. Dead to the World opens her Crossroads Queen sequence and introduces Lorelei Clay, a woman carrying a dangerous secret while seeking a second chance in a town where multiple realms intersect. The novel establishes the series' mixture of action, romance, unusual alliances, and magical threats. Chase is also known for Spellbound, Starry Hollow Witches, Federal Bureau of Magic, and Midnight Empire, whose recurring worlds place capable protagonists amid supernatural communities. Within that wider catalog, Dead to the World is a clear starting point for readers interested in her fast-paced world building, dry humor, and continuing character relationships.
