Half a Soul is a Regency fantasy romance novel written by Olivia Atwater. It is the first installment in her Regency Faerie Tales trilogy. The novel follows Theodora "Dora" Ettings, a girl unable to feel and express her emotions since the faerie Lord Hollowvale stole half of her soul. After moving to London, Dora meets the royal magician Elias Wilder, who promises to help her find a cure. However, he is busy investigating a mysterious sleeping plague that is spreading among children in the workhouses. Dora joins the investigation, which will lead her to confront Lord Hollowvale once again.
Atwater published Half a Soul on her own in 2020, before it was acquired by Orbit Books and re-released in 2022. Reviewers appreciated its cozy atmosphere that contrasts with the portrayal of the darker side of London during the period.
