Melanie Cellier

Melanie Cellier is an Australian author of young adult fantasy novels. She grew up feeding on a staple of books from a very young age and never stopped reading throughout childhood, young adulthood, and even up to her adult years. Melanie always dreamed of writing young adult or children’s fiction but she would go on to work three careers spread across three continents before she penned her debut novel “The Princess Companion” in 2016.

The best place to start is The Four Kingdoms series, the earliest of Melanie Cellier's multi-book series: it opens with The Princess Companion (2016) and runs to 9 books across 2016–2020, ending with The Coronation Ball (2020). Melanie Cellier's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
