Zaya Feli grew up in various small towns in Eastern Denmark where she spent most of her childhood and youth daydreaming about strange and incredible fantasy worlds. In 2018, she moved to Northern Denmark with her pet snake, Helix, to work as a web developer, and is now dedicating all her free time turning the fantasy worlds inside her head into words and illustrations on the page.
An avid sci-fi and fantasy fan since childhood, she also has a deep love for history, archery, nature, language and art.

Zaya Feli released her debut novel, Stag’s Run, in November 2016, and has since released five more full length novels and a short story. Her favourite genres are fantasy and sci-fi with dark themes, happy endings, and a sprinkle of romance.

Zaya is occasionally open for professional and personal commission work. See a collection of her illustration work here. For inquiries, please visit the contact page.
