Signe Pike is an American author best known for her sweeping historical fiction trilogy set in sixth-century Scotland. Her novels "The Lost Queen" and "The Shadowed Land" bring to life the legend of Languoreth, twin sister of the poet Merlin, weaving together history, myth, and romance with remarkable depth and authenticity. Before turning to fiction, Pike worked as an editor in New York publishing and authored the travel memoir "Faery Tale," inspired by her quest to rediscover magic in the modern world. She lives in Charleston, South Carolina, where she continues to research and write the concluding chapter of her trilogy.
