Alina Bellchambers grew up in her family's bookstore and spent a childhood immersed in fantastical worlds. She now writes twisty thrillers and dark fantasies that reflect her love of fierce protagonists, villainous romances and moral complexities. Alina has a university degree in psychology and writes on a forty-acre hobby farm in the picturesque Adelaide Hills of South Australia. When not typing in her study and drinking copious amounts of tea, Alina enjoys hiking with her feisty dog, connecting with her local community and travelling abroad. The Order of Masks is her debut novel.
