Robin Trent is a creator of richly atmospheric worlds where Victorian history, gothic mystery, and faery lore interlace like strands of gold and shadow. As the author of Moonshine and the evolving Faery Tale series, along with the haunting Victorian Gothic mysteries, Robin is known for crafting stories that blend meticulous historical detail with a lyrical, immersive sense of magic. Their novels invite readers into places where the gaslamps gutter, spirits whisper in forgotten rooms, and the boundary between the living and the unseen grows perilously thin.
From an early age, Robin was drawn to the uncanny corners of storytelling — old legends, dusty archives, ghost tales told by lamplight, and the strange beauty of history’s darker edges. This fascination grew into a lifelong passion for research, folklore, and the peculiar charm of Victorian England. Whether exploring real historical events or imagining entire realms hidden just out of sight, Robin approaches each story with a blend of scholarly curiosity and creative wonder.
Robin’s work is often described as cinematic, character-driven, and emotionally resonant. She is particularly drawn to themes of identity, fate, found family, and the cost of secrets. Each book reflects a belief that the past is never truly silent — its echoes shape every step we take, and sometimes, if we listen closely, it speaks back.
When not writing, Robin can frequently be found digging into obscure research, wandering through antique shops and archives, or scribbling down new ideas that arrive unannounced. A lover of folklore, myth, and all things gothic, Robin delights in transforming the ephemeral and the otherworldly into stories that linger long after the final page.
Above all, Robin Trent writes to invite readers into worlds where wonder is real, darkness has its own beauty, and magic can be found in the most unexpected places. Her work continues to grow, expanding into new series, new mysteries, and new corners of the fantastical — always with an open door for readers who wish to step inside.

When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.
