Megan Scott

Scott considers the interplay between romance and fantasy, creating a unique blend known as "romantasy" that captivates young adult readers. Her work features strong female protagonists endowed with significant dark powers, challenging traditional narratives where human women are paired with supernatural men. This thematic choice not only empowers her characters but also resonates with readers seeking narratives that subvert common tropes. Scott’s background in art history and classical civilization informs her intricate worldbuilding and magic systems, drawing on depictions of myth in nineteenth-century art to inspire her storytelling.\n\nThrough her debut book, "The Temptation of Magic," Scott introduces readers to the Empyreal series, weaving a tale that explores themes of protection, morality, and organizational manipulation. The protagonist, Nicole, possesses the rare ability to vanquish deadly supernatural creatures, positioning her as a central force in a narrative where moral complexity and magical elements intersect. As a Sunday Times Bestseller, the book has garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success, marking Scott's significant impact in the literary landscape. Her educational journey, including her studies in Art History and Classical Civilisation, and training at Curtis Brown Creative, further enriches her storytelling approach, ensuring that her narratives are both imaginative and deeply rooted in historical influences.
