Winter Pennington je autorkou série o nadpřirozené vyšetřovatelce Kassandře Lyall. Ponořena do světa přírodní spirituality a celosvětové mytologie, její psaní se často dotýká keltského světa, který je jí obzvláště blízký. Její fascinace zbraněmi jako jsou meče a dýky, stejně jako její záliba v krmení hlučných vran, se odrážejí v jejím jedinečném autorském stylu. Dlouholeté zkušenosti s péčí o zvířata jako specialistka na péči o domácí mazlíčky a veterinární asistentka dodávají jejím příběhům osobitý rozměr.
