Adi Denner

Adi Denner was only thirteen years old when the enchanted notes of the opera La Traviata by Verdi stole her heart. She is now a professionally trained opera singer with a specialisation in contemporary operas. But having too much creative energy to be contained to a single discipline, Adi also discovered painting, sculpting, wood carving, knitting, theatre, 3D art, and her burning love for writing. Her books are heavily inspired by her constant aspiration to intertwine her passions and her firm belief that art is magic.

Her debut novel, THE KISS OF A NIGHTINGALE, published October 2024 (Dialogue Books UK, Tundra PRH US & Canada):

"Set in a glittering city with a sinister underbelly, The Kiss of the Nightingale is a lush, atmospheric, and wholly original story about music, magic, dangerous attraction, and betrayal. A true showstopper of a debut" – Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days

"Lush writing… It will soar’" -Laura Shepperson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heroines

'Lush and imaginative, Denner's The Kiss of the Nightingale will sweep you into an alternate Paris. A sumptuous mixture of magic, music, and love, the story is woven with vulnerable yet strong characters that will touch your heart. Rich prose and sparkling worldbuilding make this book a treasure!' - Elizabeth Helen

"The original magic system and captivating setting are accompanied by a fast-paced narrative as the story engages with narrative as the story engages with themes of class and art." - Kirkus Reviews

"A lush fantasy infused with swooning romance and twisty turns, as enrapturing as it is fresh." - Booklist
