E.C. Blake is a pseudonym of Edward Willett who also writes fantasy under the name Lee Arthur Chane. Willett was born in New Mexico, “Land of Enchantment,” and the state’s nickname seems to have rubbed off: he started writing fantastical stories in elementary school and wrote his first fantasy novel in high school.

Our heroine, a fifteen-year-old girl named Mara,
