Tiffany Hanley is a passionate storyteller with a love for rich, character-driven worlds and the complex relationships that shape the people within them. Her writing reflects her interest in loyalty, human connection, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Across her novels—from the apocalyptic seraphic fire of The First Trumpet: The Shield, to the emerald phoenix-dragon flames and fated bonds of The Phoenix Dragon: The Lost Heir, to the snow-swept gothic peaks of The Blood-Bound Queen—her stories center on characters whose choices, sacrifices, and fierce devotion to family lie at the heart of their journey.

When she’s not writing, Tiffany enjoys exploring history and mythology and finding inspiration in the stories, connections, and little moments of magic that can be found in everyday life.

Three Pillars of Tiffany Hanley's Craft

The First Trumpet & The Phoenix Dragon

Unbreakable Family & Kinship

Whether it is Lucas, Jesse, and Maya standing shoulder-to-shoulder at Blackwood Ridge, or Divina risking everything to shield her younger sister Lilly, family devotion is the anchor that holds every realm together.

All Three Realms

Ancient Bloodlines & Living Myth

Drawing from classical mythology and folklore, power in Tiffany's worlds is never weightless—from Seraphic golden blood and cracked Celestial Chimes to emerald phoenix flames and the Heart of the Mountain.

The Phoenix Dragon & The Blood-Bound Queen

Resilience Through Grief & Fire

Her protagonists are forged in loss and exile—a ten-year-old survivor who refuses to break in silver chains, and an exiled queen who spends nine winters delivering medicine before reclaiming her throne.

Personal Dedications

Every novel in Tiffany Hanley's bibliography was written for the family members who inspired her courage and carried her voice across the finish line.

The First Trumpet: The Shield

To My Boys

“Being your mom has been the greatest privilege of my life, and watching the people you are becoming continues to inspire me in more ways than you will ever know.”

Honoring the strength, heart, and everyday courage of her sons that inspired the unbreakable Blackwood brotherhood.

The Phoenix Dragon: The Lost Heir

To My Late Husband

“You saw the writer in me long before I trusted her myself... I almost quit because of missing you. I finished it because of you, your voice pushing me.”

A tribute to her steadiest safe place and loudest quiet cheerleader, whose voice carried her across the finish line.

The Blood-Bound Queen

For My Grandmother

“Who never once told me my imagination was too big. She followed me into every world I dreamed up, through enchanted forests, hidden kingdoms, and wild adventures, and never let go of my hand.”

Celebrating the wisest woman she ever knew, who walked with her through every enchanted forest and hidden kingdom.

Praise for Tiffany Hanley's Worlds

Drag to Slide

The First Trumpet: The Shield

“The opening pasture scene hooked me immediately, and when the First Trumpet sounds and the sky turns gold, the stakes skyrocket. Lucas, Jesse, and Maya feel like a real, breathing family fighting for every inch of survival.”

The Phoenix Dragon: The Lost Heir

“Divina is one of the fiercest heroines I have read in years. Her bond with Lilly and Jazmyn—and the raw, aching reunion when Rowan recognizes her after ten years of grieving a broken bond—is pure romantasy gold.”

The Blood-Bound Queen

“Atmospheric, gothic, and razor-sharp. You can feel the mountain frost in the first chapter and the ancient dread beneath the Whispering Chasm. Isolde Varga is a queen worth following into the dark.”

The Phoenix Dragon: The Lost Heir

“Some bonds don't break—they wait. Tiffany Hanley writes fierce protective sisters, found family, and slow-burn second-chance mate tension better than anyone in indie romantasy right now.”

The First Trumpet: The Shield

“From the claw marks on the pasture fence at Blackwood Ridge to the Railyard Forge and Mount Calder, every chapter builds like a drumbeat. I cannot wait for the Second Trumpet.”

The Blood-Bound Queen

“The dynamic between Isolde, Lena Petrova, Master Alaric, and the ever-grumbling Valeriu in the deep basalt mines is masterfully written. When Isolde claims the Heart of the Mountain, you feel every ounce of her lineage.”
