Marissa Serrao is the author of The Seeking, a YA portal fantasy series, and Love X Magic, an NA sapphic romantasy collection. As a child, Marissa lived in a world of fantasy, befriending mythical creatures and building many magical kingdoms inside her mind. It wasn't until years later that she revisited her love of fantasy worldbuilding and took it to the page, where she could invite others to explore the magic with her. You can find Marissa at home in Charlotte, North Carolina sneaking in as many moments as she can to write each day, surrounded by her partner, furry kids, and far too many houseplants.
