Bio
Amaranthe Athenais has been writing poems and sonnets since her early childhood. Although she is not a historian by education, she spends every single ounce of her free time writing. She thinks that writing is like finding a secret passage to a world of heightened senses and deepest emotions, which are unlocked by a magical union of words, music, and drama behind the performance.
She is a person with interests ranging from finance to art, literature, and history. She likes reading books on history, especially long and fundamental manuscripts that create a large and colorful picture of civilization development. She is especially fond of history of France, England, Holy Roman Empire, and Italy in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance era, and the New era.
Her fiction works cover the spectrum of drabble to novel, and her favorite genres are drama, angst, and tragedy. It is archived at AO3, ff.net and in her original novels.[1]
