ABBY LANE has been writing genre fiction for more than twenty years, novels that include her medieval romantasy, The Immortal Blood. She credits Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire, with inspiring her recent foray into dark fantasy. A history enthusiast, she’s traveled far and wide to explore secret gardens and medieval castles, having an avid interest in the Tudor period. Her prose has been described as “near rhapsodic,” “pitch perfect,” and “stylishly straightforward, rarely relying on complex turns of phrase.” Reviewers have said her narrative conveys “imaginative fantasy,” “fascinating characters,” as well as “dynamic, immersive, and ideal for fans of epic fantasy.” Abby shares her life with her husband and adores her adult children, including three special grand pups named Bella, Arya, and Charlie. When she isn’t at her home in Calgary, she’s admiring the ocean from her cottage in Maple Bay.
