Join writer K.B. Kveld on the Secret Destiny journey
A New Historical Fantasy Adventure Series
Wild Light, The awakening
Eurasia, 1753. A woman wakes in a forest surrounded by strangers,
with no memories of herself. Only the deep instinct that it isn’t safe
to tell anyone about her amnesia.
The strangers say they are being hunted by merciless raiders. And now, she will be too. With no idea where she belongs, or if she has a mate or children looking for her, she must decide whether to try hiding from the raiders, alone, on the small chance a family might come. Or flee with the strangers, who are obviously keeping secrets of their own, even from each other.
Then she encounters the unexpected, a hidden dragon society that keeps its existence secret by killing any who see them. With dragons who know something about her. If she can survive long enough, she might find out what.
But first she must protect her strangers. Which means unlocking their mysteries, while concealing that she can do magical things no one should be able to. Because, as she discovers, their meeting is no accident.
From forest and village to a great city with the glittering homes of the nobility, follow this heroine of an alternate Earth, and those she comes to care about, as they navigate a path that could lead to a destiny they were always meant to have. Or reveal a role in a monstrous and deadly conspiracy that could shake nations.
Steeped in 18th century life and dragon culture, this adventure is full of surprising twists, unusual magic, the steadfast bonds of family, and deeply-layered characters wrestling with the question: What am I willing to do to save those I love?
Perfect for fans of historical fantasy, magical realism, dark mysteries, dragons, found families, and secret destinies.

About K.B. Kveld
K.B. Kveld was writing down stories even before she became a newspaper reporter. And while she wrote about real life for newspapers and magazines, she continued to create other stories about different worlds with fictional characters. And put them into short stories, song lyrics (which earned her an award), stage plays (she has a theater background, too), poetry, and television commercials (sadly, she didn’t get to be in them, but she got to be on set).
She hadn’t really intended to become a novelist too. But when the science fiction and mystery stories she was writing got to be novel length, she realized she was already there.
When she’s not writing, or doing other work or family things, she might be playing or writing music (with the modern versions of the instruments in her stories).
