Robin Trent

Robin Trent is the author of Victorian fantasy and dark faery fantasy novels rooted in folklore, changeling myth, and the dangerous politics of the fae.

Her work blends gaslamp fantasy, gothic fantasy, and mythic fantasy, drawing on Victorian-era settings, atmospheric prose, and classic faery lore. Central themes include rival fae courts, ancient bargains, curses, and the perilous cost of crossing the veil between worlds.

Robin Trent is best known for Moonshine, the first novel in The Gilded Faery Chronicles, a Victorian fantasy series exploring changelings, faery queens, and the fragile boundary between the mortal world and Elphame. Her stories appeal to readers who enjoy dark fantasy, historical fantasy, and richly imagined fae realms inspired by European folklore.

She writes stories where beauty is never harmless, magic is never free, and faery bargains are always paid in blood or moonlight.
