Meet Petra Cade

Petra Cade is a fantasy author with a heart for adventure and a soul rooted in loyalty, family, and fire-forged stories. A lifelong dreamer, Petra spent years building the world that would become Embers of the Light—the first spark in a sweeping YA fantasy saga where shadows rise, gods vanish, and destiny doesn’t always wait for permission.

She writes for readers who crave immersive worlds, ancient magic, fierce characters, and the thrill of stepping into something bigger than themselves.

The Heart Behind the Words

Petra’s love for storytelling began in childhood, scribbling her own adventures and imagining distant lands where ordinary people became something more. Her stories are built on resilience—on what it means to keep going when everything falls apart.

At the center of every book is a heartbeat: the courage to rise, the bonds that form in fire, and the power of choosing hope when the world gives you every reason not to.

From Page One to Published

Embers of the Light didn’t come easy. Like many first-time authors, Petra battled years of doubt and second-guessing before finally finishing the book that had lived in her heart for so long. But once the first chapter was written in stone, there was no turning back.

Now, she’s already completed Book Two (Flames of the Light) and is deep into Book Three—proof that sometimes, all it takes is one brave step to change everything.

Life Beyond the Light

When she’s not writing, Petra is a devoted mom and nana whose world is shaped by the love of her family. Her stories are fueled by that same love—the quiet strength it gives, the inspiration to dream bigger, and the fire to keep going.

She’s fun-loving, loyal, and believes in the kind of magic that lives in both everyday moments and epic fantasy.
