The Lost Sisters

Taryn Duarte lives in the court of Elfhame beside her twin sister, Jude. While Jude fights for power against Prince Cardan, Taryn takes a different road. She is drawn to Locke, a trickster at court, and later lets out secrets she has kept.

This is a companion novella to The Cruel Prince, told in Taryn's own voice. It covers the same stretch of events as that novel, seen from her side of the court rather than her sister's. It reads as part explanation and part apology for the choices she makes.

The tagline sets the tone: the difference between a love story and a horror story lies in where the ending falls. Expect a close, confessional narration rather than a sprawling plot.

The book is short, about 50 pages in ebook form, and came out in 2018 as an ebook and an audiobook. It assumes the reader already knows the events it revisits, so it suits readers who have finished The Cruel Prince. In the series The Folk of the Air, it comes after the first book and before the second.
