How Warrior Chronicles Began
K.F. Breene, a bestselling author known for her paranormal and urban fantasy novels, launched Warrior Chronicles with Chosen in 2014. Inspired by her love for strong heroines and complex worlds, Breene crafted Shanti’s story to explore themes of leadership and resilience. Self-published through Hazy Dawn Press, the series grew from a single novel into a six-book saga, fueled by Breene’s knack for blending action, humor, and heart. Her Northern California roots and penchant for wine-fueled shenanigans infuse the series with a playful yet gritty vibe.
The Heart of Warrior Chronicles
The series kicks off with Chosen, where Shanti, a fugitive with mind-based powers, is found near death by a band of soldiers led by Captain Cayan. As she grapples with her prophesied role as the Chosen, Shanti must navigate trust and betrayal to save her people. Hunted, the second book, follows her quest to rescue her brother, introducing a mysterious stranger and deepening the stakes. Shadow Lands, book three, sees Shanti facing deadly trials to claim her title, while Overtaken, the finale, delivers a heart-pounding conclusion to her battle against the dictator Xandre.
Breene’s world is a tapestry of warrior clans, skilled craftsmen, and aggressive warlords, with Shanti’s mental abilities adding a paranormal twist. Themes of duty, identity, and the cost of power shine through, balanced by humor and a slow-burn romance between Shanti and Cayan. The series’ action-packed pacing and vivid battle scenes keep readers hooked, while its exploration of hope amid war’s horrors adds emotional depth.
