We’re excited to welcome author ✨Lana B. Knight✨  to Rebels & Realms 2026!!

As author of The Starheart Saga, Lana blends atmospheric magic, high-stakes emotion, and fiercely determined heroines into stories that feel both epic and deeply personal.

Readers have especially praised Starheart for its lush worldbuilding, emotional tension, and cinematic fantasy atmosphere, while Nightwither continues expanding the saga’s darker, more mysterious edges.

And for audiobook lovers? There’s an extra layer of Rebels & Realms magic here - Starheart is narrated by none other than attending narrator Khaya Fraites, meaning both the author and the voice behind the audiobook story will be joining us in July ✨🎙️

Please help us welcome author ✨Iram Mehal✨ to Rebels & Realms 2026!!

Author of The MEHAL Method: Clarity, Confidence, and a System That Actually Works, Iram combines behavioral science, leadership strategy, and coaching frameworks to help individuals move beyond surface-level motivation and begin identifying the invisible barriers holding them back.

As a certified REBT & CBT coach and doctoral candidate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, her work centers on practical transformation rather than empty self-help buzzwords.
