About the Author

K.T. Anglehart is an award-winning Canadian author with a love for folklore, history, and the magic of the natural world. A lifelong storyteller, she holds degrees in Journalism, Creative Writing, and Scriptwriting, and is a speaker of three languages.

Her travels through Ireland and Scotland inspired The Scottish Scrolls, a witchy YA urban fantasy trilogy that blends Celtic myth with modern-day mysticism in what is, at its heart, a story of identity and belonging.

When she’s not writing, K.T. leads talks and workshops and is launching a metaphysical supplies shop, named after her late Netherland Dwarf, Magic (a tiny creature with a giant personality). She enjoys thrifting, painting, and cozy TV marathons with her high-school-sweetheart-turned-husband, Andy. They live in small-town Ontario with their rescue dog, Nessie, and two whimsical bunnies, Onyx and Stirling.

"A grand web of magic, intrigue, mystical atmosphere, and fae surprises {...} Anglehart’s evocations of an Ireland where a 'lake of mystic topaz' stands 'silent and still beneath smooth mountains' are both wistful and sumptuous."

"The Wise One is a heartwarming coming-of-age story with characters that resonate, rich European folklore, and enchanting details that tickle the senses long after the last page is read . . . as slowly as possible because you never want this hauntingly beautiful story to end. I await the sequel with bated breath."

—V. G. Anderson, author of The Light in the Sound

“Much like a young adult version of A Discovery of Witches, this story expertly blends the folklore of the Celtic people with present-day life. This book is highly recommended to readers who enjoy young adult literature and the magical landscape of Ireland."

—Mary Lanni, Reedsy Discovery

"I got this book as an ARC. And I feel so lucky that I did. The Wise One needs to be on all of the must-read lists for 2020. I’m so moved by the storytelling, the setting and the characters K.T. created. I consumed this in a day, I couldn’t tear myself away. Not only did the author suck me into this breathtakingly visual book about magic, witches and faeries, but they stuck in so many life lessons that humans of all ages need to be reminded of.

Don’t be a bully, love is love, protect our beautiful planet, accept your faults, family comes first and love your friends unconditionally. In a time where we can’t travel, this book takes you from Boston in the Fall to the inviting landscapes of Ireland and I felt like I was there with the characters. Every Mckenna needs a Nissa in their life and I can’t wait to read where they adventure to next."
