The Halves of Us, The Halves of Us Trilogy

For fans of Sarah J. Maas’ House of Earth and Blood, The Halves of Us brings together fantastical worlds and ominous prophecies that will shake the foundations of a kingdom.

Twin Sisters: one destined to rule, one cursed to destroy.

Some say blood is thicker than water. But for twin sisters, Adie and Aura, their connection runs even deeper than blood. After investigating a surprise attack carried out by dark souls controlled by the Wicked Willow, an evil residing in a neighboring region, Aura uncovers a family secret: she is the fulfillment of a curse placed upon her family centuries ago.

While Aura is destined to destroy their planet, Thindoral, Adie is fated to follow in their mother's footsteps and become Ruler, but even Adie's path comes with revelations. Dangerous premonitions plague her dreams, all depicting Thindoral's demise at the hand of her sister. As darkness takes control of her mind, Aura must determine whether defying fate and time is the choice that will seal her destruction, or if self-sacrifice will save all she holds dear.

Meanwhile, Adie is faced with an impossible decision: save her sister, or protect their world?

Sydney Paige Richardson

Even before Sydney could hold a pencil in her hand, she was making up stories in her head. Richardson wrote her first book in the second grade, Girls, about her best friends and herself in college [because college was super cool when you were 8] who went on treasure hunts and fought bad guys with their super powers. Richardson's second grade teacher was so impressed, she laminated a cover and bound it. That will forever be the moment Richardson dreamed of holding a copy of her own book and placing it on a shelf. All grown up, Richardson's head still stays in the fantasy world, fashioning worlds where the power of a star can be harnessed and used for time travel, flying is just as easy as walking here on earth – and her best friends are fairies. Her characters are dark and lost individuals, but readers' love for them will grow when they realize not everything is black and white. Richardson is represented by Rebecca Angus at Golden Wheat Literary.
