The tragedy of Lovers' Falls... This is a tragedy. It’s also a love story with threads of hope. But it’s important that you go into it expecting a tragedy. In The Half-Light Chronicles, nearly every book and story references Lovers’ Falls, a waterfall near the center of Vendaras inhabited by sprites. It’s named for the skeletons embracing at the cave’s entrance, and its origin is a favorite story among bards and storytellers because it can be tweaked to emphasize various morals, making it a warning or inspiration, depending on the audience’s need. But this version is the true story, the one that tells just how the skeletons got there (hence the tragedy) and how their story connects to others you may know. The Light That Burns is a short story in The Half-Light Chronicles that can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed with more context from the series.

Karyne Norton is a contributing author for Putting the Science in Fiction by Writer's Digest. Because she hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing clean epic fantasy. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, which is why she’s also the host of the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast, where she reads a new short story every week from a variety of fantasy authors. Blood of the Stars, the first book in the Half-Light Chronicles, is her first novel. The second book will be released on Kickstarter in Fall 2024: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... On reviews: I usually give 4-5 stars to every book I finish because a) I don't have time to finish books unless I'm loving them b) even books that have content or themes I disagree with can positively impact me c) stars don't mean a ton to readers, but they mean a lot to the authors.
