Thea Harrison began her career writing romance novels under another name in the 1980s, publishing more than a dozen titles for Harlequin. She reinvented herself with Dragon Bound in 2011, launching the Elder Races series and quickly gaining a devoted readership in the paranormal romance genre. The Elder Races books are set in a version of modern America where the Elder Races, including Wyr shapeshifters, Elves, and Djinn, live openly among humans.

Her Elder Races series spans 28 books, mixing full-length novels with novellas that follow different couples within the same world. The main arc follows Dragos Cuelebre, a powerful dragon Wyr, and Pia Giovanni through their relationship and the political tensions among the Elder demesnes. Beyond the Elder Races, Harrison has written the Moonshadow trilogy featuring Fae and magical creatures in a modern setting, the Game of Shadows series about reincarnated souls battling ancient evil, and the American Witch duology.

Harrison also writes standalone novels and shorter fiction. Her early Harlequin romances from the 1980s cover contemporary themes, while her more recent work like The Winter King (2022) continues her focus on fantasy worlds with strong romantic storylines. Her books consistently appear on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
