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 supreme: 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 book three, Servant of the Lost Power, coming February 20, 2024. Series conclusion, book four, Keeper of the Mythos Gate, coming fall, 2024.

Reviews for Stranger in the Twisted Realm

The Girl Who Fell Into Myth is a marvel of beautiful language, elegant worldbuilding, and a story of powers and magic on a grand scale. This will be a series to treasure. -Louisa Morgan, author of The Great Witch of Brittany. The Girl Who Fell Into Myth is set in a richly imagined world of entangled mythologies, elusive magic, and bitter treachery, perfect for fans of complex, dark-edged fantasy. -Rachel Neumeier, author of the Tujo Series Kay Kenyon excels at creating strong women who must navigate perilous situations as they slowly learn the extent of their own abilities. I was hooked on The Girl Who Fell Into Myth and am impatiently waiting for the next installment in this series! -Sharon Shinn, author of The Shuddering City Worlds layered upon worlds. Worlds growing wild from the mists. Powers that tap the profoundest parts of lore: these compose the circulatory system of The Girl Who Fell Into Myth. 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
