Kyra Halland writes fantasy novels filled with magic, adventure, unforgettable characters, and romance that matters. Her books are set in unique magical worlds so vivid you'll feel like you're there, where hope shines through hardship, and where honorable heroes and smart heroines face impossible odds while falling in love and working together to save their world - and each other.

Kyra lives with her husband in the beautiful desert of southern Arizona, which has served as inspiration for many of the settings in her books. She loves fantasy books with a healthy dose of romance, spy movies, classic 90s anime, epic symphonic metal, and chocolate. She's a mom, grandma, and devoted cat servant.

Who would a bounty-hunting wizard hunt? Outlaw wizards! Specifically, wizards who rebel against the rules and expectations of wizard society in the "civilized" land. As an added dimension to his character, I also decided to make him less concerned about enforcing wizard laws and more concerned about protecting the non-magical settlers on the frontier from those renegade wizards, who are only out for themselves. Of course, these ideas about protecting non-magical folks and promoting equality and freedom for them put him on the wrong side of the law, so now he's a renegade as well.(less)

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed Urdaisunia.

In fact, I do have an idea for a sequel. It's been on the back burner while the idea comes together and I work on other projects, but I hope to get to it someday soon! It's a next-generation thing, but of course Eruz and Rashali would have an important part in it.(less)

Lots of Updates - September 2026

 It's been quite a while since I updated and there's lots to update, so here goes.

Children of the Wildings is now complete with the release of book 3, The Hunter's Flight, in June. The ebook collection of all three books is also available now, in stores and in Kobo Plus. And I finally got the print editions of all three books up.

I'm taking a break from the Vendine family for now, not sure for how Read more of this blog post »
