I.D. Marie
I.D. Marie grew up immersed in comic books, dystopian stories, and fantasy realms. She took up writing in middle school, thanks to a passion for storytelling from reading, and she has been writing ever since. A Celtic-Latina American, Marie is inspired by science fiction and the mythologies of her respective cultures. These two passions bleed into her work. Marie’s debut novel, The Tyrant’s Daughter, explores her interests in genetic mutations along with a hint of political intrigue and mental health.
Marie currently lives in the northeastern United States–though her heart longs for the Arizona desert. She splits her love for biotechnology between her day job as a bioengineer and her passion as a science fiction and fantasy author.

The Tyrant's Daughter
A princess longs to be a hero, while a bounty hunter fights for his freedom. Will they be each other’s ruin or salvation?
Welcome to the Empire of Pangaea: a land of legends, mutants, technological marvels, and every form of sin you can imagine. Peace should be within reach in a world united under the global empire. But as a new species of superpowered mutants starts to grow in number, so does unrest.
As the world teeters on the edge of war, two enemies must become unlikely allies. Arianne Murray, a forgotten warrior princess, and Blackjack, an infamous bounty hunter, must put aside their differences to survive the growing chaos. Their abilities and humanity is tested as they are thrown into a dystopian journey of survival and forced to grapple with feral mutants, deadly tricksters, and a tyrant who will stop at nothing until he owns the world.
Prepare to take flight in the action-packed first installment of the five-part Legends of Pangaea series concocted in the underground labs of Pangaea. The chemical formula is perfect for sci-fi fans who love comic book superpowers, fast-paced action, and romantic spice.
The Prince of Paradise
The path to redemption is far from a vacation, but our bounty hunter in remission is certainly going to try and make it one.
The fall of Leonueva was supposed to be the end of the brewing war, but our feathered friends quickly discover that it’s only the beginning. The battle scarred the Pacificans, but none more than Arianne Murray. Still grappling with everything she’d witnessed in Pangaea, she’s spiraling faster than one of her infamous aerial nosedives. With a comatose mother, an increasingly distant father, and friends growing apart, Arianne finds herself utterly alone.
Until Keston, former enemy-turned-hesitant-friend, proposes an escape from her problems.
But a seemingly innocent pairing between two isolated avians quickly takes a dark turn. It appears that obliterating an enemy city was not a one-way ticket to retirement, but a catalyst for war. Ace and Leon realize that they have one thing in common: a desire to fry some poultry. And what’s worse than one enemy? Two working together.
As Arianne and Keston attempt to navigate their pasts’ combined assault, they quickly learn that they have much bigger problems than finding a nice margarita. Forces from the depths of Pangaea’s shadows are stirring, and the winged pair must brace themselves for the impending storm.
Buckle up for more action-packed thrills, page-turning twists, and scorching romance in The Prince of Paradise, Book Two in the Legends of Pangaea Series!
The Martyr's Shadow
Arianne is dead. But what will rise from the ashes?
Arianne lost everything–the love of her life, her family, her friends, and her home. All things considered, she’s ready to give up. Miraculously surviving her execution, she wakes up in the ancient heart of the northern forests of Pangaea. Surrounded by a legendary tribe of warrior mutants, she learns her retirement plan is about to change.
Halfway across the continent, Keston struggles to hold onto the last thing worth fighting for–his sister. But such a task is made difficult with the company he’s forced to keep: his estranged father, a mad scientist, an even madder cyborg, and the tyrant that started it all. Struggling with grief and a crippling identity crisis, can Keston protect what is left of his heart, or will his path of good intentions twist him into something more sinister?
As global tensions rise, legends hidden for decades begin to awaken. Amidst heartbreak, revenge, and more life-changing secrets, does the next generation of heroes have what it takes to write new legends, or will they be lost to the winds of history?

Now, as Asia and its unholy Underground enter the race for global domination, Arianne and Keston are forced to volley for control of the Empire’s largest continent. Crawling through neon nightclubs and tempted by vices in every direction, will these lovers-turned-enemies find a way to conquer the slumbering power of Asia’s criminal underbelly, or will their rivalry throw the world into an even steeper tailspin?
