Elisabeth M. de Rivera, free spirit, somewhat rebellious and indomitable, was born and raised in Paris, France, where her parents emigrated from Spain, still ruled by a dictator in the 60s.

Since she has always loved languages and playing with words, her original purpose was Arts and Humanity. However, she ended up studying Physical Therapy in New York, driven by her need to help others heal.

Years later, her new passion, education, led her to teach English and French in Madrid, Spain.

Keen reader since childhood, enthralled by the power of magic, supernatural abilities, and medieval heroes, she has always delighted in fantasy books and movies, which have inspired her to write her own epic fantasy saga, DRAKHYO.
