Kyreen

by Nikki Moore, Ryann Armstrong (Illustrator)

On the eve of her third birthday, Princess Kyreen witnesses a brutal murder and raises the alarm, spoiling a neighboring state’s invasion designed to completely annihilate the Calanian people. This one incident launches a spiraling of events that change the lives of Kyreen, her family and her people forever. This is the story of Kyreen’s flight from the castle that day with her twin brother and their mother; her subsequent separation from family and everything familiar; and her years spent as an outsider in a xenophobic society; culminating with Kyreen’s return to Calan almost two decades later. What has happened in her absence? Will Kyreen find a place among the Calanians still embroiled in the struggle that stole Kyreen’s family and childhood? What about the man she meets on the road home? How is he connected to her struggles? Is he friend or foe?
