I’m a mystery author. I’ve written literary thrillers, psychological thrillers, murder mysteries and a variety of other suspense novels, but I’ve never written in the fantasy genre before.
However, Lily wouldn’t leave me alone. She whispered “Once upon a time” in my ear. Her voice was persistent and clear. So I interrupted what I was doing and jotted down the stories she told me.
I put them into a messy file called “fantasy book” and forgot about it. I didn’t take it seriously. Why should I? I was a mystery writer.
But her dark, magical, haunting story got told. And here it is.
Love.
Honor.
Betrayal.
Survival.
Book One of The Three Crowns of Darkstep series.
