Biography
Hailey Tan
My world is built on a love for fantasy and the rich tapestries of Asian tales. When I’m not swept away by a C-drama’s epic journey or the clever strategies of chess and ping pong, I am writing. My stories, like The Last Lantern Keeper, blend mythic grandeur with deep human emotion, exploring how light can be born from sacrifice and how the past must be understood to forge a better future. I’m extremely thrilled to be able to share the same magic that captivates me.

This is the story of Ling, a young apprentice left alone to guard the magical light that keeps her floating city from falling into the abyss. When the source of that light is stolen in a violent storm, she’s thrust into a desperate race against time. Everyone sees her as just a scared girl, and no one will help.Her only guide is a mysterious white fox that leads her down into the city’s forgotten underbelly, where she discovers a terrible truth: the light she’s devoted her life to is not a gift, but a chain—the dying breath of a betrayed dragon. To save her home, Ling must confront the man who stole the light and believes destroying the city is an act of mercy. In the end, she learns that the true power of a Lantern Keeper isn’t about guarding a flame, but about having the courage to become the light yourself, transforming a legacy of pain into one of hope.
