title: The Council (Witch's Ambitions Trilogy) (Volume 1)
author:  Kayla Krantz 
description: Proud author of Dead by Morning, fascinated by the dark and macabre. Stephen King is her all time inspiration mixed in with a little bit of Eminem. When she began writing, she started in horror but it somehow drifted into thriller. She loves the 1988 movie Heathers. She was born and raised in Michigan but traveled across the country to where she currently resides in Texas. She has ideas for books in many genres that she hopes that publish in the future.
