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.
