The first novel in the trilogy, ''White Tiger'', was published in July 2006, followed by ''Red Phoenix'' in January 2007.

Unaware at first that he is in reality a Chinese god, she is drawn into a world of martial arts and magic where gods and demons walk the streets. On her publisher's website Kylie Chan explains how she came to write ''The Dark Heavens'' trilogy, saying that after she returned to live in Australia, she read her way through every fantasy title she could find. Basing her writing on the genres she enjoyed - romance, action and the supernatural, and adding her knowledge of, and research into Chinese mythology and Taoist philosophy she created the first in the series, the critically panned ''White Tiger''. According to the author's website two further trilogies in the same universe are to follow, starting in 2009. The first of these trilogies is the 'Journey to Wudang' trilogy, the third book of which was released in 2011. Kylie Chan has a website and forum, where she can sometimes be found interacting with readers and answering questions.〔http://www.kyliechan.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kylie Chan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
