The Whisper of Leaves

By K.S. Nikakis

The critically acclaimed The Whisper of Leaves, Book 1 in The Kira Chronicles Series, is a richly imagined high fantasy tale set in a beautifully crafted world of deep emerald forests and vast sweeping plains.

A gold-eyed Healer, a prophecy, two brothers at war.

In seasons long past, twin gold-eyed princes sundered a kingdom when the Healer Kasheron rejected his brother's warrior ways and led his people deep into the southern forests. Forgotten by the outside world and protected by the trackless trees, the Tremen flourish, upholding Kasheron's legacy of peaceful healing. All Tremen delight in the healing arts, but Kira is the greatest Healer of them all. To the north of the forests, drought grips the land and the Shargh suffer. A herding people, they lost their grazing tracts years before in long and bloody wars.

As the drought tightens its grip and their animals die, the chief's younger brother seizes on an ancient prophecy to snatch the chiefship for himself. The prophecy links the Shargh's doom to a gold-eyed Healer and Kira has gold eyes.

The Shargh attack with devastating consequences and Kira fights to save the wounded but the wounds rot, no matter her skill and, as the blood-shed continues, Kira faces a terrible choice: betray everything Kasheron fought for or watch those she loves die.
