B.R. Michaels is a (rather camera-shy) writer whose work reflects their passion for storytelling. Growing up in California, they were raised by a single mom whose strength and ingenuity are always inspiring. After graduating from college, they began writing their fantasy series, The Infinite Night Saga.
Their debut novel, Stolen Histories, was published in June 2025. It is about a group of outcasts who come together to pull off a daring interdimensional heist. B.R. Michaels' writing explores themes of anti-imperialism, the power of choices, and identities, drawing on their experiences from growing up in a country under the threat of fascism.
They continue to write and come up with more stories every day. Outside of writing, they enjoy reading, watching comedy, and hanging out with their mom and dogs.
STOLEN HISTORIES
Discover the world of Avalon
—and the worlds beyond...
A world of magic is being swallowed by an empire that takes what it wants. A girl in over her head is after a stolen artifact, two master thieves are leading a crew to reclaim lost treasures, and their team is anything but ordinary—some of them shouldn’t even exist. With shaky loyalties, dangerous magic, and an empire tightening its grip, their plan is held together by luck and desperation. They might just pull it off… if the world—or they—don’t tear them apart first.
In this story about secrets, family, and good old-fashioned heists, a ruthless empire hoards stolen history, and a daring crew is reckless enough to take it back. But in a game where power is everything and disaster is inevitable, the difference between a successful job and a fatal mistake might come down to who's willing to risk it all.
Kirkus Reviews on Stolen Histories!
"A richly imagined, character-driven fantasy that’s bursting with magic and mischief." — Kirkus Reviews
Other Reviews on Stolen Histories!
"This book is fire. If you’re into heists, sharp-tongued women with secrets, or rebellion served with banter and blood magic, you need to read this. Stolen Histories is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, N.K. Jemisin, or anyone who ever rooted for the morally gray underdog. It’s fun, it’s furious, and it’s got heart for days."

Amari Kato is the last of her kind - an orphan running on borrowed time, haunted by loss and fueled by the promise of revenge.
Taliya Camry, meanwhile, is a street thief and hired blade. She grew up in the city's underbelly, where loyalty is a luxury and trust will get you killed.
When Amari makes a mistake too big to ignore, the second is sent to eliminate the problem. As a growing threat stirs beneath the city, both girls find themselves drawn into a conflict they can't walk away from. The lines between enemy and ally blur, the city teeters on the edge of chaos, and soon, taking sides isn't so simple. Whether they like it or not, Amari and Taliya are caught in the middle - and their choices may decide what burns and what survives.
Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! 😍
Adventure and rich world-building in a magical city, where survival depends on unraveling hidden threats... without getting caught.
From the very beginning, readers are immersed into a world brimming with errant magic, where Rooftop Kings run the streets. B. R. Michaels masterfully crafts a vibrant landscape, contrasting the dilapidated streets of the impoverished with the magically maintained suburbs of the elite. Amari guides us through a colorful realm filled with intrigue...
The world-building is, for me, the most captivating aspect of the story. The most memorable scene is when Amari describes her pieced-together home and her ghastly roommate. This seemingly simple moment is so visually appealing that I found myself wishing Amari would return there just for the pleasure of revisiting it.
Overall, I recommend “Shatterpoint: An Amari Kato Novella” to anyone seeking an adventurous escape into a richly diverse world.
