Hi, I'm Tali Shammas, a novelist and storyteller.

As a corporate lawyer, drafting refined my precision and attention to detail. During my PhD, I honed my academic writing skills. Now, I'm chasing my childhood dream of becoming a novelist, weaving intricate tales that captivate and inspire.

My debut novel features a university student whose mental illness takes on a new meaning when she's brought to a fae world where emotions are weapons.

Nora's emotions have always been difficult to regulate, but her situation worsens when they develop problematic telekinetic effects. 

Her powers entice a handsome fae prince, who kidnaps her in the hopes that she'll use them to help his people in a losing war. Nora learns she's half fae but has no interest in helping until she finds out the fae queen has been abducting human children. 

Nora must dig deep to decide whether she’ll return to the human world and live a regular life, or save the children and become inextricably entwined in life as a fae.
