Harnessing the power in her blood could turn the tides of war—if it doesn’t destroy her first. It’s been fourteen years since Prince Gaeren lost Aeliana, the childhood friend he’d sworn to protect. Haunted by the unfulfilled promise, he searches for a way to bring her home. But with threats against the kingdom from both a rebel faction in the south and Mayvus, a power-hungry priestess in the east, he only has time to follow one last clue across the seas.

When Pirate Redwood plunders Captain Moss' ship to entertain her crew, she discovers he's already stolen her most valued possession: an ancient cutlass. She takes it back, but it's only one of four relics they're both determined to find. Friendly competition turns deadly when a third sailor joins the hunt, and Redwood is forced to decide which treasure to go after: the relics she's vowed to protect or the man who's stolen her heart.

Roman can't help falling for the girl next door, even though she forgets who he is... every single day. He'll stop at nothing to figure out the cause of her memory loss if it means there's a chance she might fall for him.

In The Half-Light Chronicles, nearly every book and story references Lovers’ Falls, a waterfall near the center of Vendaras inhabited by sprites.
