Overview

Burdened by eyes that reveal her emotions, branded by a birthmark that spells out her name, and gifted with strength heightened by inhuman capabilities, Kiara Fable has always suspected a veiled aspect of her life-what she failed to notice was the truth of her past lurking in the shadows, disastrously unraveling the normalcy of her future. Kiara's dreary life with her adoptive family in a small, isolated village in the heart of the mystical world Menevilen is abruptly shattered the day she is rescued from an attempted assassination by the charming and intimidating Avian Knight. According to him, royal blood native to the kingdom of Enevale flows through Kiara's veins-the same blood her maniacal, magic-wielding aunt, Vyntrx, will do virtually anything to spill. Thrust in the midst of a century-old blood-feud between the Evalseman and Nonae races, Kiara must ultimately betray half of her heritage and choose to defend a side of the rivalry. Faced with a war she may not be capable of winning, the presence of a traitor hiding amid the darkness of distrust, the bittersweet venom of love's merciless sting, and more precarious escapades than she thought imaginable, Kiara fears her new world may be utterly forsaken.

About the Author

MaKenzie McCroskey Jones has been writing since she was extremely young. Having always dreamed of creating her own stories and worlds, McCroskey Jones finally decided to write her first novel in 5th grade. After two years of handwriting The LaPaix Stone, she had completed her first 300-page manuscript. It was during the re-write process of the LaPaix Stone that she began to piece together an idea that would eventually become The Fall of Menevilen Series.
Aside from writing, McCroskey Jones is a fan of reading, indie and alternative music, anime, and video games. She is an avid reader of young adult and fantasy novels. She was a member of her high school's yearbook staff for three consecutive years, and was the editor of the 2012-2013 school year. She has had an article co-published by PBS Newshour and Millennial Youth, won first place in her high school's annual writing contest in the short story category, and has received positive reviews about her books from an author in New York: "I love the concept and overall story line. I'm highly impressed with the Author's youth. Her innate ability to cultivate an engaging story, which leads the reader's mind to wander and naturally develop visions of these worlds, is well presented in her writing style."
McCroskey Jones is currently enrolled at Missouri Southern State University with a major in English and will transfer to University of Missouri the following year.
