Xandra Noel was born in a place where mythical creatures remain present in daily life and traditions. She grew up listening to fairy stories and being warned not to step into fairy rings by her grandmother. It is no surprise that her debut novel, Tales of Earth and Leaves explores fairy mythology and tells the story of a romance with a faerie prince. Xandra loved getting lost in a good story and is currently working on the continuation of her series Tales of Earth and Leaves.
