When Genna is chosen as the Sunrider of prophecy, her destiny is to unite the Sun and Moon Magic for the good of both nightlings and humans while waging a war against her uncle.

About Holly Lisle
Holly has been writing with intent to publish since January 1st, 1985 when her New Year’s resolution was to write a novel before she turned twenty-five (ten months later, more or less). She hit my resolution with a few days to spare, but the book sucked. She wrote a LOT after that, accumulating a big shoebox with well over a hundred rejection slips in it before anybody decided her stories were good enough to be paid for.
She started selling in 1991 with the fantasy novel Fire In The Mist (which won the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel) a couple of sonnets she sold to the SF magazine Aboriginal.
It was a long hard slog between intent and realization, and it’s been a rollercoaster ever since. But she loved telling stories. In fiction, she found the work she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
Holly died due to complications from cancer on the 27th of August 2024.

About Katharina Gerlach
Katharina was born in Germany in 1968. She and her three younger brothers grew up in the middle of a forest in the heart of the Luneburgian Heather. After romping through the forest with imagination as her guide, the tomboy learned to read and disappeared into magical adventures, past times, and eerie fairytale woods.
She didn’t stop at reading. During her training as a landscape gardener, she wrote her first novel, a manuscript full of a beginner’s mistakes. Fortunately, she found books on Creative Writing (and the best were by Holly Lisle) and soon her stories improved. For a while, reality interfered with her writing but after finishing a degree in forestry and a PhD in Science, she returned to her vocation.
