The Arisen Worlds #2
Stranger in the Twisted Realm
The prince who will conquer all the kingdoms of myth. The woman who must stop him. Not all myths are harmless. Yevliesza, formerly of earth and now of the Mythos, knows that one of the mythical realms is based in darkness. Volkia. This warlike kingdom has shattered the rules of magic, bringing all the realms into peril. When Yevliesza is sent to Volkia on a diplomatic mission, she arrives at a nest of vipers. The cunning ruler of Volkia, Prince Albrecht, appears to welcome her, but suspects that she is linked to a rare and world-altering power. One that he intends to harness for conquest. To preserve the Mythos, Yevliesza must never reveal that power. But she has left behind a trail of evidence, and worse, she possesses a damning arcane tracery--etched upon her very skin. Now she is in the hands of a ruler who is determined to bend her to his will, whether through a twisted courtship or outright coercion. Unless she can outwit him. The prince has formidable allies, but one is the twisted being who hovers over the realm, guiding the Volkish and seeking revenge on Yevliesza's homeland. And especially on the girl with the Lost Power. Book two of a high fantasy quartet from acclaimed science fiction and fantasy world-builder Kay Kenyon. Watch for Servant of the Lost Power, Book 3 of The Arisen Worlds, coming February 20, 2024. Series conclusion, Book 4, Keeper of the Mythos Gate , coming fall, 2024.

September 20, 2023DANGEROUS. PLAYFUL. WARM OF HEART.
Stranger in the Twisted Realm is the second book in my new fantasy series, The Arisen Worlds. The 4-book series opens with The Girl Who Fell Into Myth as Yevliesza, a 21st century woman, falls into the medieval world of the Mythos.
"Sometimes dangerous, sometimes playful, warm of heart and strong of will (with more than a whiff of romance!)"
—C.S.E. Cooney, author of Saint Death’s Daughter on Book One.
Book Two: In a war-like realm Yevliesza fights for her freedom as a cunning leader hunts down the secret of who she really is. Discovery means ruin for the Mythos. But the price of secrecy will be higher than she could imagine.
IN THIS BOOK YOU'LL DISCOVER:
~ If, as an honored guest in the dark realm, Yevliesza can survive the hospitality
~ Whether she can keep her dangerous secret hidden when it’s written on her skin
~ How the realms of the Mythos really grow
~ Whether Yevliesza will allow love into her life
~ What powers the dread machines
~ The evil that waits for Valenty deep in the Breminger forest
In ebook, paperback, and hardcover.
