A.C. Gaughen writes young adult fiction that blends history and fantasy. Her first series, Scarlet, reimagines the Robin Hood legend by revealing Will Scarlet as a young woman hiding her identity among Robin Hood’s band. Scarlet (2012), Lady Thief (2014), and Lion Heart (2015) follow Will as she fights against the Sheriff of Nottingham and navigates her complicated relationship with Robin Hood, all while keeping her secret.

The Elementae series shifted to secondary-world fantasy. Reign the Earth (2018) follows a young woman married off in a political alliance who discovers she has the power to control earth and stone. Imprison the Sky (2019) continues the story with a new protagonist who controls air. Both series feature female leads dealing with power, identity, and the constraints placed on women in their respective settings.
