Deb sa písaniu venovala už od detstva a jej prvá práca zahŕňala písanie scenárov pre detskú televíznu reláciu. Po rokoch písania o širokej škále tém sa pustila do písania románov. Jej tvorba sa často zameriava na akčné dobrodružstvá mladých hrdinov, ktorí cestujú po svete a čelia nebezpečenstvám. Tieto príbehy čerpajú inšpiráciu z autorčiných vlastných neobyčajných zážitkov, ktoré ju naučili žiť naplno.

Isabella and her friends are nervous about what they'll find in the New City. It's inland and it's dry - far from the flooded city they've just left. Will their lives here be as luxurious and carefree as Xavier says? In fact, bleak, uncertain times have brought darkness and danger to New City.

From freakish weather events that whip up with little warning to the fierce misinformation that swirls around the city to the theft of their freedom, now they face the prison-like restrictions and control of the New City. Unlike the refugees, they're heralded as heroes. But what does the Major General really want from them?
