About Ryen

Ryen Santana (like Ryan) writes dark, emotionally charged stories filled with morally gray characters, deep betrayals, and just enough trauma to haunt her readers. A mother of two, she balances parenthood with the chaos of writing, fueled by coffee and late-night obsession.

Her journey began with 500k+ word fanfics inspired by Twilight, The Hunger Games, and One Direction. Now, she crafts original works exploring love, power, revenge, and the darker sides of human nature—where the stakes are high, the characters are twisted, and the endings are never what you expect.

When she’s not writing, Ryen is usually reading, rock climbing, commissioning art of her characters, or rotting in bed—when her children allow it.
