Kin of Mist & Stone
by Karen L West
She bled for her clan. They cast her out as a monster.
When warrior Raura is exiled for blood that no longer fits the world’s rules, she flees into the wild. Wounded, hunted, and haunted by visions of stars that don’t belong to her sky. What answers her flight is not mercy, but change.
A voice in her mind—Riddick, the wolf who has always guarded her soul. A falling star—John, a small warbeast forged for battle, bound by loyalty instead of command.
And a path leading into mist-choked mountains where ancient pacts, living stone, and forgotten kin still listen.
Kin of Mist and Stone is the beginning of a powerful fantasy journey where survival is not conquest—and the world listens to those who refuse to dominate it.
✨ Perfect for readers who love:
Found family and soul-bonds
Shapeshifters and elemental magic

Stories where consent, balance, and choice matter
“If you love epic fantasy that values balance over domination and found family over fate, this book belongs on your shelf.”
InkShift Review
Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
