Kiona’s village, Shenandoah, is raided by Eresh Kigal, who massacres the gifted, rounds up the children, and butchers some of their parents. Kiona arrives home just in time to witness her parents being murdered while trying to protect her brother, Achak, who is abducted. Kiona knows she cannot defeat Eresh Kigal alone, so she travels thousands of miles to the Samazan Garrison to get help. Here, Kiona meets old and new friends and embarks on a life-changing journey. Her journey takes her to the cold region of Dagger Teeth Pass, where she meets a mysterious Masked Piper; she goes on a rescue mission and fulfills a long-ago destiny. Kiona finds peace from her family’s tragic experience and competes in The Forest Trails. To join Kiona on her journey, read Now. Here: Kiona the Gardenian by Richard Haslam.
Now. Here: Kiona the Gardenian brings you adventure and mythology and a story about sacrifice and unconditional love. Richard Haslam showcases his creativity in this unique tale with an unpredictable plot. The story will take you on a wild emotional journey and introduce you to intriguing characters and beautiful places. It will also teach readers about the characters’ traditions and lifestyles. Kiona is selfless, and she risks her life for others. I fell in love with her determined spirit and friendly nature. This book also contains colorful art that corresponds perfectly with the story. The story has the potential to become a cartoon series because it has a premise that provides endless possibilities and cartoon-worthy pictures. I enjoyed reading this book and cannot wait to read more from this author.
