Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox are two platonic soulmates who have been inseparable since meeting at 19. Their shared love of fantasy, badass heroines, and steamy romances fueled their dream of co-authoring a novel, which they brought to life with their debut, Riftborne.

Since its release in 2024, Riftborne has cemented Bree and Parker’s reputation in the Romantasy genre with its signature blend of slow burn romance and jaw-dropping plot twists. The book was named a “Best of BookTok” favorite, became a bestseller, and earned spots on both Buzzfeed and Brit + Co’s lists of books to read after ACOTAR, drawing in a passionate fanbase eager for more.

Their upcoming release, The Ascended (Fall 2025), is their most ambitious project yet. It is a spinoff of their debut series that can also be enjoyed as a standalone. With glowing early reviews already rolling in, it is poised to be one of the most anticipated romantasy releases of the year.
