Laura Mennona asked Juliet Marillier:

Just finished cybele’s secret and I so wish there was another book! Is this something you may self publish? I think this series came out right before these types of books got huge! I love the story of the sisters and the other world and the romance!! What an amazing read to both! I started wildwood dancing when I was 14 and I wish I knew there was a second book back then! Not enough advertisement went throughs it!

Juliet Marillier Hi Laura - apologies, I only just saw this, have not been on this page very much. I don't think I would self-publish. What I did do is write a short story, which will appear in an anthology mid-2026, featuring some modern-day characters going to visit Piscul Dracului many years later. The castle has become a centre where international postgrad students can go on retreat, to do intensive research. But at least two have secret agendas, and perhaps the magic is still there! I had a lot of fun with this, will put something up on the page when the table of contents is announced. It's a romantasy anthology from UK publisher Titan Books. (You are the first reader to hear this.)
all the best, Juliet
