About this series
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 Servant of the Lost Power, Book 3 of The Arisen Worlds quartet, coming February 20, 2024.

- The Girl Who Fell Into Myth: The Arisen Worlds, #1
1
Fall into the magic land of the Mythos along with its brave and forgotten daughter. Yevliesza has been caring for her ailing father when she is summoned home to a world she has never seen. Using a hidden portal, she enters the realm of Numinat, a myth world arisen from legend. Although she is the daughter of witches, she was raised in the modern age with little knowledge of their arisen world and none of their magic. For the the last leg of her journey, she flies on the back of a dragon. When a storm splits open the sky, Yevliesza is caught in its blinding light. She arrives at the medieval city-palace severely damaged, indelibly marked as an outsider. In this kingdom of deep powers, she is devoid of magic. Determined to find her power and claim her place, she must counter dangerous court intrigues and a sorceress who intends to see this foreigner cast from the great Tower. Yevliesza may find protection with a powerful lord if her heart can bear the penalty of his conditions. In the end, however, she must find her own path if she is to survive. But what she discovers is an alarming magic that, once revealed, may make her a permanent outcast. A high fantasy from acclaimed fantasy and science fiction world-builder Kay Kenyon. Stranger in the Twisted Realm, Book 2 of The Arisen Worlds quartet, is out September 5, 2023. And watch for Book 3, Servant of the Lost Power, February 20, 2024. "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 "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 "Kay Kenyon excels at creating strong women who must navigate chaotic, 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 "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.
