LO MELA

AUTHOR

Lo Mela may be a debut novelist, but she has been a sci-fi, fantasy, magic and make-believe enthusiast since she can remember. As an attorney, entrepreneur, and wellness enthusiast, her stories blend prose, magic, strength and what each of us struggle with in the real world - the tension between love and cruelty. Her writing is immersive, sensorial and action-packed.

Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

What People Are Saying

  • Absolutely addictive. The tension, the magic, and that morally gray mentor had me hooked from the first chapter. I’m already desperate for the next book.

  • The slow burn is SO worth it. Every interaction feels charged, the world is fascinating, and the mind magic adds this deliciously dangerous edge to everything.

  • I came for the romantasy and stayed for the secrets, impossible choices, and chemistry. Out of the Chains feels like the beginning of something huge.
