Kyen of Avanna is lauded as a hero, but . . .

Everyone who meets him immediately doubts it. Shy, skinny, and mortally afraid of women, he keeps to himself by wandering the wilderness. He has to. He’s hiding a dangerous secret—Kade, an ancient being of immense power, lives in secret in Kyen’s head.

Kyen’s travels get complicated when a princess named Adeya starts following him. She’s doomed to an arranged marriage, and her only escape is to restore the art of summoning to her kingdom—summoning which involves the very creature Kyen is trying to hide. From the moment they cross paths, Adeya suspects he’s keeping secrets and she’s determined to uncover them.

Their fates become entangled when a sinister mage appears. He calls himself the Kingmaster and, wielding a relic of mind-control, he possesses their loved ones and threatens to seize the kingdoms of Ellunon. Now stuck with the princess (and her unwanted suitor), keeping Kade hidden becomes increasingly harder for Kyen. One by one, the Kingmaster is targeting everyone they meet. When he levels his aim at Adeya, Kyen must face a heart-wrenching choice: save everyone he loves or surrender Kade to forces bent on destroying the world?

The Kingmaster is a classic quest for those who crave tales of adventure, courage, and magic with a hint of romance. It would be enjoyed by readers of YA Adventure Fantasy similar to Redwall, Eragon, or The Ranger’s Apprentice.

About the Series

Kyen of Avanna has the reputation of a hero, the lineage of a warrior kingdom, and an unmatched skill with the sword; but nobody believes it when they meet with the desperately shy, awkward young man. So Kyen keeps to himself by wandering the wilderness, trying to outrun his tragic past—and trying to hide a powerful secret.
But celestial warfare is waging across the realm and the more Kyen attempts to disappear, the deeper he’s drawn into the heart of the conflict, caught between fiends and arcangels; between princesses and villains; between the man he is and the man he could become. With the destruction of Ellunon riding on the edge of his blade, his choice to face his true identity and wield the power given to him will determine the fate of all.
With a vibrant cast of characters, wicked-fast sword fights, and world-shattering magic, this is one epic fantasy book series where you’ll need to buckle up before reading.
