Meet Marie Corvo
I'm Marie Corvo, author of gothic romantasy and mythic urban fantasy inspired by Portuguese folklore, ancestral magic, and the secrets history tried to bury.Drawing from my Portuguese and Cape Verdean heritage, I write about powerful women who refuse to make themselves smaller, fiercely loyal men who understand that love isn't ownership, and the dangerous beauty of forgotten magic.When I'm not teaching or writing, you'll probably find me reading far past bedtime, experimenting with herbal remedies and specialty cocktails, listening to heavy metal, or catering to my four very opinionated cats.
