Overview
Yasmine Galenorn's Otherworld series, also called Sisters of the Moon, began with Witchling in 2006 and follows the D'Artigo sisters: Camille, a witch, Delilah, a werecat, and Menolly, a vampire. The three are half-human, half-Fae operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency, based Earthside in the Seattle area, and they fight the demon lord Shadow Wing, who wants to invade Earth through the portals between the worlds. The 21 numbered novels were published by Berkley and Jove until 2016, then self-published, ending with Blood Bonds in 2019. The Fly By Night novels, a spin-off with Shimmer the dragon and the vampire Alex Radcliffe, take place in the same world. A continuation, Otherworld Unleashed, began in 2026.
