Blood of the Stars
The Half-Light Chronicles
By Karyne Norton
The Kickstarter for Book 2, Salt in the Seas, is expected to run Fall 2024. Follow the Kickstarter to be notified when it launches so you don’t miss out!
Available now!
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.
Kidnapped as a child, Aeliana is desperate to be rid of the chaotic magic in her blood, magic her captors use to ravage the land. When she’s found by Gaeren’s rebel enemies, she joins their fight to rescue her mother from Mayvus, but her unwieldy power only serves to attract Mayvus’ attention. Aeliana must learn to control her magic before they reach her mother, or risk becoming the weapon Mayvus needs to take complete control of the kingdom.
Blood of the Stars is Book 1 in The Half-Light Chronicles, an epic fantasy series with found family, reluctant royalty, blood magic, & descendants of stars on the brink of war.

Here’s to the fantasy geeks, the Gryffindors, and those who check their closets for Narnia. Here’s to the sword-wielders and wand-wavers, the dreamers and adventurers. Here’s to those who face their fears, tame wild beasts, and defeat dragons. Here’s to the heroes-in-training. The books I write are for you.

Karyne Norton
Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy. Her debut novel, Blood of the Stars, launched on Kickstarter in September 2023 and comes to retailers March 2024.
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. Check it out to find your next favorite author!
