Lost Starlight: A Peter Pan Retelling
Happily ever after was only the beginning of their story.
When Lady Gwendolyn Darling’s betrothed, Prince Peter, goes missing, rumors spread throughout the kingdom that he left to escape her. Gwendolyn begins to wonder if she was ever enough for Peter, or if her timid ways, which have always been difficult for others to embrace, was the reason he left. Was Peter unable to love her with such flaws? He, after all, knew her better than anyone else.
Determined to understand the reason for him leaving for herself, Gwendolyn goes on a quest to find him–and the truth, even if it breaks her heart in the end.
When a pirate Captain, named Hook, begins stealing lost boys from Pixie Isle, the pixies come to collect their debt from Prince Peter of Walden. It is his task to save these boys and remove Captain Hook from the Misted Seas forever.
Peter will do everything he can to repay his debt and make his way back to the proper, kind, and lovely Lady Gwendolyn Darling. She calms his restless heart, tames his curse, and has given him purpose in his life. She is his guiding star in an endless night. But even if he repays his debt, will she ever forgive him for leaving in the first place? Has he lost her starlight in his life forever?
Peter spent most of his life before meeting Gwendolyn longing for things far beyond Waldon's shore, cursed to always seek adventure and never be satisfied. Now, all he wants is to return home and never leave her again.
I have a debt that is due–one that comes at the steep price of my happiness.
That is the price these pixies come in the dark of night to collect.
This story is also connected to Sea's Secret since it is Prince Peter’s story, who is Dominick’s brother from Sea’s Secret, which is a little mermaid retelling.

Kayla Eshbaugh
Kayla Eshbaugh has often been told that her own real-life love story sounds a lot like a romance novel. At the age of sixteen, her brother's best friend told her that they would get married someday, and–spoiler alert–they did! Because of her personal experience, she is a firm believer that you can find true and lasting love while still in your teens, which is why she loves writing in the young adult genre.
Kayla often shares story ideas with her two sons and husband around the dinner table, writes scene ideas on her phone, types away at her next book in her office, and watches true crime documentaries with her husband, even though she is often afraid of the dark, afterwards. She also reads novels during any spare time she has, even if it is late at night after her kids go to sleep. She loves the beach and gets her best ideas for stories while she is at the beach or when she is camping in her favorite spots.
