S.M. Reine has been publishing urban fantasy novels since 2006 and has built one of the more ambitious shared universes in indie fiction. Most of her books take place in the Descentverse, a world where supernatural creatures exist alongside humans and the balance between heaven and hell is always shifting. Her series range from werewolf stories to demon-hunter procedurals to witch mysteries, and characters frequently cross over between them.
Reine is a prolific writer with well over 100 titles to her name. Her earlier series like Seasons of the Moon and Descent established the foundation of the Descentverse, while later entries like Mage Craft and A Fistful of Daggers expanded it in new directions. She also writes The Psychic Cat Mysteries, a lighter paranormal cozy series. Readers who enjoy interconnected fantasy worlds with a lot of lore and recurring characters will find plenty to dig into.
