Signe Pike began her publishing career with Faery Tale (2010), a non-fiction memoir about her search for enchantment in the modern world. The book reflected her deep interest in mythology, folklore, and sacred landscapes, which would later inform her fiction.

The Lost Queen (2018) marked her move into historical fiction. The novel reimagines the life of Languoreth, a sixth-century Scottish queen whose story has been largely forgotten by history. The Forgotten Kingdom (2020) and The Shadowed Land (2024) continue the trilogy, set against the backdrop of the wars that shaped early medieval Britain.

Pike’s years of research into early medieval Scotland and her background in mythology give the trilogy a sense of historical grounding that distinguishes it from more fantastical retellings of the Arthurian era.
