Erica Dakin

The Ritual, published in 2013, opens the Theft and Sorcery trilogy, where twin half-elf sisters, one a thief and one a sorceress, run into twin half-elf brothers with the same division of talents. Erica Dakin brought it out herself, added The Conspiracy later that year and The Coup in 2015, and reviewers who found the first book heavy on romance thought the second gave the world more room. Dutch by birth and resident in Britain, she describes herself on her own blog as a cat lover and a closet linguist.
