About the Author: Best friends since age thirteen, sisters-in-law Niamh Schmid and Rebecca Schmid have been writing together since they were kids. The worlds of their combined imaginations evolved over the years, resulting in several full-length novels spanning the genres of fantasy, steampunk, and sci-fi. Both Niamh and Rebecca live in upstate NY where they work as professional pianists. They enjoy a variety of hobbies such as art, composition, archery, horse riding–all of which find their way into their books.
