"Evryn won me over by its ambition, invention, and strong narrative..." (Scott Russell Sanders, author of Small Marvels and The Way of Imagination)

On the secluded island of Kenozaria, where women hold power, Evryn Korina—the chief's eldest daughter—is not what her mother hoped she would become. But when a new, formidable enemy threatens her culture and home, Evryn must choose between staying in her mother's shadow or embracing her latent power. With the help of an unlikely ally and the guidance of her ancestors, Evryn must learn to connect with her intuition and her fellow women to harness her inner strength and save her people.

Lord Lukin Velga, the last male in his line, is disenchanted with his role and skeptical of his uncle's mission to spread their faith across the world. When he is tasked by the Torch of Branngard with finding and bringing back the chief's daughter, he discovers there is more to her than meets the eye. Captivated by her courage and integrity, Lukin must decide if he will fulfill his destiny or protect the woman he loves from the schemes of his fellow men, no matter the cost.

From the climes of Kenozaria to the corridors of Yarrow's Keep to the opulence of the treacherous elites of Rhys Domus, Evryn, the Light is an adventure that blends reality and fantasy. With poetic and thought-provoking prose, Kaighla Rises takes readers on a breathtaking journey, exploring themes of love, the bond between mother and child, and the journey of self-discovery in a world where the power of the divine feminine shines against the encroaching darkness.

I had the the great fortune of reading this book along crashing ocean waves in Cabo. The setting was a perfect background to this wonderful read. I felt like the river goddess in the book, Keno, was close at my side reminding me of the raw power within all of us as we flow through life. If I had the opportunity to move to Kenozaria and learn their ways, I'd do it.I can't wait to see what Kaighla Rises brings next!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful world and empowering female characters

This book kept my attention from start to finish, and I am genuinely upset that I've finished it because I just want to keep reading about these multifaceted characters in this gorgeous world the author has built. This book gives all women a glimpse of how to harness their inner strength for the good of everyone around them, and the love it takes to preserve our beauty and humanity.

I am now at a forever fan of Kaighla Rises, and I can't wait to see what's next!

I loved this book so much that I did not want it to end. The characters are phenomenal, and it was wonderful to see such range among female characters. I will be rereading this in the future, and I hope there are more stories to come.

This book was a great debut fantasy novel. It moves at an almost too quick pace but the characters and world are enthralling enough that I want to spend more time here. I look forward to many years of great things from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023
I’m not a huge fan of fantasy books because many are not well written. This is an exception. I didn’t want to stop reading. I felt like I knew the characters, their thoughts and their lives. It was an exciting and beautiful story. The author was very good at describing scenarios so you could feel and see them. There is one very violent scene, which although hard to read, was so well written I could see and feel it.
What I want you to know about this book, is that although it is a feminist story, it is also a story of human rights and what happens when someone tries to take those away.
I can’t wait for the next.

As a self employed mother of three I had not read a book in years, I couldn’t put Evryn down. I can not wait for the next installment- Kaighlas voice as an author is so relatable and the way she builds tension in her storyline 🤌🏼
