Within days of hearing that her publisher was planning to launch a new fantasy imprint, Deborah Hale called her editor and submitted a proposal. Fantasy novels had first inspired her to become a writer. Deborah was delighted to be offered a contract for two connected books and thrilled to be the first Harlequin author to write for the Luna imprint! When Deborah regained the publishing rights to those books she revised the stories into a more conventional fantasy trilogy which she hopes will appeal to an even wider audience.
