Emma Petitt is the author of stories that blend unforgettable characters, immersive worlds, and heart. Her published works include the complete Hollowborn Legacy duology (Thornmark and Rootborn), the Japanese-inspired fantasy The Villain’s Ink, book one in the Ashen Glyph Chronicles. Coming soon are The Archivist’s Vow, the second book in The Ashen Glyph Chronicles, and the highly anticipated paranormal fantasy Marked for the Night Court. Whether you love dark fantasy, romance, or stories filled with magic, mystery, and adventure, there’s a world waiting for you to explore.
A book lover and lifelong storyteller, Emma lives in Southwest Missouri with her husband David (who helped make this dream and the published author dream come true), three grown children, and two chihuahua mixes, Goliath and Chino, who believe they are far more majestic than their size suggests.
When she’s not writing, Emma runs Hideaway Creek, an online bookstore where she curates hand-picked stories, bookish merch, and the occasional candle that smells like a plot twist. Her goal? To help readers discover the books they didn’t know they needed, and the perfect mug to sip from while reading them.

The Hollowborn Legacy — a dark folkloric fantasy duology where roots whisper, thorns burn, and the Hollow claims its own. Thornmark began the tale of a girl who was never chosen, only claimed. Rootborn will decide if she becomes queen… or the Hollow’s final sacrifice.


Airi Fumizuki has lived quietly within the Scribe Guild, following the rules carved into history after the Quiet Sundering. Harmony is forbidden. Questions are dangerous. And the past is not meant to be remembered.
Ashiro is everything the Crown fears: precise, powerful, and entirely unafraid to redraw the lines they depend on.
When betrayal fractures the fragile balance of Veythall, ink becomes more than language. It becomes a weapon, a witness, and a reckoning.
Marked for the Night Court is a laugh-out-loud paranormal fantasy romance where one very ordinary woman discovers she’s anything but ordinary. Packed with witty banter, found family, supernatural chaos, slow-burn romance, and just enough danger to keep everyone on their toes, it’s a story about surviving the impossible while somehow finding time to fall in love along the way.
