Asher Tensei went to college for psychology, but later felt that writing was more his speed. He had an idea, and after the fruition of the Twilight Saga, he was sure that writing was a life-long passion. The ability to portray a world vividly in his writing meant that he could, in his mind, stand up to some of the big players in the young adult genre. Asher's emergence into the literary world introduces some new concepts in fantasy as well as unique values that make his novel hard to put down.
