Larke's first novel, Havenstar was published in 1998 by Virgin Worlds in the UK under her married name of Glenda Noramly.[3]

The Aware was a finalist in the 2003 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel.[4] Gilfeather and The Tainted completed the trilogy. The Tainted was a finalist in the 2004 Aurealis Award.[5]

The Isles of Glory was shortly followed by Larke's second trilogy The Mirage Makers. It includes Heart of the Mirage, which was released in 2006 and was a finalist in the 2006 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel,[6] The Shadow of Tyr and Song of the Shiver Barrens, both released in 2007.

The Lascar's Dagger won both the Tin Duck Award and the Ditmar Award in 2015; The Fall of the Dagger won the Tin Duck Award in 2017.
