Debut Middle-Grade/YA Fiction author Christina Wallace has signed a 10-year exclusive term with Starry Ink Press for her debut Middle-Grade Fantasy novel, The Light Keeper, as well as two additional volumes in the series, to include print, ebook, and audiobook rights.

The Desert Tomb: The Light Keeper Book Three (Working Title) is planned for release in 2024.

Starry Ink Press signed The Light Keeper as one of our debut collection of novels because this story truly modernizes classic Middle-Grade Fantasy in ways that our readers will relate to, while maintaining the moral conflicts and encouraging dreams and imagination beyond the page. 

The Light Keeper is an urban paranormal fantasy with child-appropriate faeries, good vs evil plots, trolls, adventure aspects, shifters, and portal fantasy all wrapped seamlessly into a page-turning story.
