Shannon E. Langan

Raised by the wild Devon coast, Shannon grew up steeped in fantasy but never intended to write. Unsure of her calling, she studied Sociology and qualified in Integrative Counselling. Collecting books and imagining worlds remained her constants, and as her stories grew too vast to contain, she began jotting them down. Approaching thirty, she answered the call to write, studying a Writing for Young People MA - since then she’s been shortlisted for the 2024 Searchlight Awards. Working with teenage girls, Shannon crafts fierce female protagonists, hoping to amplify their voices.

Spell Souls

When smoke coils from Rae Brennan’s fingertips, engulfing her family’s motorhome, her life is torn apart. Banished by her father, Rae discovers she’s Magicae, not Human, and is thrust into a secret world of magic. Attending a veiled Magicae school, she faces monstrous bullies, vicious lessons, and unearths the bloody history that divides Humans and Magicae. Rae struggles to bridge the two worlds of her home and school, but refuses to abandon her sister. Can she keep a foot in both realms without drawing dangerous attention to Elle? A YA fantasy brimming with betrayal, sacrifice, and the perilous power of magic.
