"
Evryn
won me over by its ambition, invention, and strong narrative..." (Scott Russell Sanders, author of
Small Marvels
and
The Way of Imagination
)
On the secluded island of Kenozaria, women are in charge, but Evryn Korina-the chief's eldest daughter-is not what her mother hoped she would become. When a new, formidable enemy threatens to annihilate her people, her culture, and her homeland, Evryn must choose between staying in her mother's shadow or embracing her latent power. With the help of an unlikely ally and the guidance of her ancestors, Evryn must learn to connect with her intuition and her fellow women to harness her inner strength and save her people.
Lord Lukin Velga, the last male in his line, is disenchanted with his role and skeptical of his uncle-the Torch of Branngard-and his mission to spread their faith across the world. When he is tasked with finding and bringing back the Kenozarian chief's daughter, he discovers there is more to her than meets the eye. Captivated by her courage and integrity, Lukin must decide if he will fulfill his destiny or protect the woman he loves from the schemes of his fellow men, no matter the cost.
From the untamed wilderness of Kenozaria to the ancient corridors of Yarrow's Keep to the opulence and treachery of Rhys Domus,
Evryn, the Light
is an adventure that blends reality and fantasy. With poetic and thought-provoking prose, Kaighla Rises takes readers on a mesmerizing journey, exploring the complexities of love, the bond between mother and child, and the journey of self-discovery in a world where the power of the divine feminine shines against the encroaching darkness.
