A high fantasy from acclaimed fantasy and science fiction world-builder Kay Kenyon.
"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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of this entertaining but uneven series-launching fantasy from Kenyon (Prince of Storms), 21-year-old Yevliesza is whisked from the mundane world to magical Numinasi, her ancestral homeland, by a dragon-like creature known as a dactyl. Once in this unfamiliar land, one of many alternate realities evolved from human myths, Yevliesza is taken under the wing of dashing ne'er-do-well Lord Valenty. While feeling like an outsider and struggling to adjust to matriarchal Numinasi's political and magical workings (and lack of modern conveniences), Yevliesza discovers unexpected abilities and becomes infatuated with handsome elven prince Tirhan. Danger arises in the form of enemy forces known in this world as the Volkish, but which Yevliesza recognizes as Nazi troops from Earth. When the Volkish threaten to invade, Yevliesza must master her powers in time to stop them. Kenyon's worldbuilding is vivid, ambitious, and expansive, but it often raises more questions than it answers. Frequent shifts in point of view, meanwhile, result in some characters being less developed than others and a slightly overcomplicated plot. Still, the romantic tension is well drawn, the heroine is easy to root for, and Kenyon lays solid groundwork for future installments. Readers will be excited for more. (Self-published)
