The Half-Hearts Chronicles, Book One, Synopsis:
With billions of people on the planet, how can anyone ever find their other half? And what if everything depended on it?
No death on modern Earth is a coincidence anymore. An immortal evil force has all but taken over Earth’s magical sister planet, Alamea— and the destinies of both planets have been linked. If Alamea falls entirely, Earth will fall in that very hour.
When twenty-one-year-old college senior, Lani Thomas, is yanked out of her modern world and its relative safety, she finds herself inexplicably behind enemy lines in Alamea, swept into the middle of Vranah’s brutal final war for that planet— a war which will conquer both Alamea and Earth— with no idea if she can ever return home to California, or if home will even exist if Vranah wins.
Only the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy of the Half-Hearts can stop Earth and Alamea’s terrible twin destiny. However, the prophecy is old and nearly-forgotten on Alamea— and Earth knows nothing of it.
The Half-Hearts Chronicles is a journey of friendship, betrayal, and true love— full of thrilling twists, surprising turns, and many perils along the way— split between the world we know and love, and a magical sister world waiting to be rediscovered.

“The first question they asked me after I died was, ‘If you had it to do all over again, would you?'”
Juliet Montega is a twenty-two-year-old victim of an unsolved murder.

Her ill-fated homecoming takes place shortly after the one-year anniversary of the day that her parents were killed by a drunk-driving member of the Capera family.
Back in Bend, Oregon for the first time since the double funeral, Juliet struggles to adapt to living in her childhood home alone, and finds herself unwillingly-thrust into a tangled web of secrets and twisted love triangles that push her down a dangerous path of deception and murder— wondering who she can trust as she desperately tries to escape the destiny she fears her star-crossed name has cursed her to fulfill.
