In Regency England, finding a suitable match is already a challenge—but it becomes nearly impossible when you’re missing half your soul.

Since a faerie’s curse stole part of her emotions as a child, Theodora “Dora” Ettings has lived without fear, embarrassment, or the social instincts expected of a proper young lady. Determined to avoid scandal, she enters the London Season hoping to remain a quiet wallflower. But Dora’s unusual condition makes blending in far more difficult than she imagined.

Her fate takes an unexpected turn when she catches the attention of the enigmatic and notoriously ill-mannered Lord Sorcier, Elias Wilder. Drawn into his world of hidden magic and dangerous faerie politics, Dora finds herself at the center of strange and unsettling events that threaten both her reputation and her future.

As Dora navigates high society, meddlesome family expectations, and the unpredictable realm of faeries, she begins to discover something even more surprising—despite her curse, her heart may not be as absent as she believes.

Charming, whimsical, and full of heart, Half a Soul blends the romance of Bridgerton with the magic of Howl’s Moving Castle, creating an enchanting tale about love, identity, and what it truly means to feel.

She lives in Montreal, Quebec, with her wonderfully supportive husband and their two cats. Though she once told her second-grade history teacher she wanted to work with history someday, her path took a far more unconventional—and imaginative—route.
