Rolly was born and raised in Orihuela until moving to Valencia in 2007, where she enrolled at the Polytechnic University. After six years-- and two unfinished degrees-- she accepted that science, and university life in general, were not her calling. She is the author of the Love and Virtue trilogy (2019) and the fantasy saga The Extinction of the Elves, whose first book, First Plague, was published in 2021.

Deeply drawn to U.S. aesthetics and sports, she brings both passions into this novel, which portrays life in a fictional Utah city in 1985 and the world of college American football-- clearly inspired by Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler.
