1 universe Last reviewed 2026-08-20

Maggie Rapier is a Southern-born American author of cozy and romantic fantasy fiction who describes herself as "an incurable romantic who loves nothing more than wordplay and witchcraft." Alongside her writing career, she has worked in marketing French antiques and maintains an enthusiasm for travel and the outdoors, including foraging in the woods near her home, interests that inform the atmospheric, nature-inflected settings of her fiction. Rapier is the author of the Magpie and the Wolf duology, a fantasy romance series that blends whimsical worldbuilding with darker, more sensual undertones; the books in the series follow morally complex heroines navigating magic, danger, and romantic entanglement, in a style she has summarized as centering "moody girls and sexy pirates." Her fiction is published by Penguin Random House and sits within the broader wave of romantic and cozy fantasy that has found a wide readership in recent years, distinguished by Rapier's playful use of language and her fondness for folkloric and witchy imagery. Though details of her personal biography remain relatively private, her author materials emphasize a hands-on, craft-oriented approach to storytelling, drawing on her interests in antiques, folklore, and the natural world to build immersive fictional settings. Rapier continues to develop new fantasy fiction, with further entries in her existing series and new projects following her early success in the genre.
