-Semi-finalist in the Publisher's Weekly/BookLife international awards

As the gods battle in the heavens, darkness descends on earth.

The Keepers of Nine guide the primordial Kurintor protecting the mortal world. But after a god's corruption empowers an ancient demon goddess, Sokka. Her manipulations have brought the Kurintor to the brink of extinction.

Now, as Sokka amasses her forces to ascend to the mortal world, can the Keepers of Nine awaken the Kurintor descendants in time to defend the Fifth Kingdom, or will Sokka finally destroy them?

It isn't prophecy, destiny, or a birthright, which will decide the fate of the mortal world.

It is choice.

Nurisha San is the adopted daughter of Qaradan San. He has trained her and her best friend Aljosa as warriors, an art she will need in the future. Lately, her birthmark on her wrist has been itching and growing; only a journey to Solluna can give her some of the answers she seeks.
Meanwhile, the remnants of the Kurintor warriors are readying for a battle to defend the Fifth Kingdom. Xavion knows that the mark on his wrist 'twins' him with Nurisha though they have never met. But it is time for them both to develop their mental abilities as well as their warrior skills to face the foes all around them.
This is an engrossing tale perfect for readers of epic fantasy. The story moves around between a numerous cast of interesting characters. Redemption is a question much discussed; can the wicked characters possibly redeem their actions? Or are they doomed to taint the good characters around them? The forces of good and evil are a strong theme throughout the story.
The author is excellent at world-building, and her descriptive talents show here. From Qaradan's blacksmith shop to the taverns of Solluna to the clamor of the Kumasi port, the reader is drawn into a rich and vivid world. The dialogue is particularly striking.
My only quibble is that I would have liked to have seen the story of Goni and Gea moved up nearer to the beginning of the book. It's backstory that would have helped me understand some of the motivations of the characters, but that's just me and it really is probably insignificant to most readers. I can't wait for the next book to see where the story goes next.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Awesome Tale!

Kurintor Nyusi is one of the most exciting and refreshing books I've read in a long time. The plot was not the usual fantasy fare, the world not like the usual worlds you find in the genre, and the characters...well, it was the characters that made this tale a pure pleasure to read. The author has created something very unique, and this is sure to be an award-winning story.

Through the eyes of these believable and well-portrayed characters, the reader is treated to a wonderfully enthralling experience, seeing the world through their eyes and coming to care for each and every one of them. We feel their emotions, share in their pains and joys. Even the antagonists. Nurisha, Xavion, Qaradan, Zuri, Alyelu and so many more. Yet, while there are plenty of characters, I did not feel overwhelmed at any time while reading this book.

This is fantasy as it was meant to be, not focused on creatures and landscapes, or even on the events, but on the people who live them, and we get to experience it all right along with them. I cannot say enough about how well-written this story is. This is an author all fantasy fans should keep their eyes on, and I highly recommend reading Kurintor Nyusi. I am anxiously awaiting the next book, and if this book is any indicator, the next will be magnificent! It deserves more than a mere 5 stars.

This was an engaging book that emphasized character over plot, with a diverse assortment of characters that breaks away from the Western fantasy mold. Thoroughly enjoyable and enticingly different!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great fantasy with an amazing cast of characters
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020
Aaron-Michael Moon very clearly put some effort into this book. I’ve not heard of this author before I came across this book, but after doing some digging I’ve found she’s got a handful of stories available. I don’t usually dive into high/epic fantasy stories like I did when I was younger, but this author clearly has style and creativity that separates her from most fantasy authors that seem to think Lord of the Rings is a template. The book itself seems to be well-edited, but I will say some chapters are completely pushed by dialogue or action, and not really balanced between the two. Still, that didn’t detract or hurt the story at all, just made some chapters quick while others were a bit slower.

So this story really belongs to Nurisha, and that's who we start with. She treks through her adventure to find answers (which use the birthmark as a catalyst to kick off the adventure) but really if the adventure is the road, the characters are the shiny vehicle we watch as it zooms by. Watching Nurisha, Xavion, and Aljosa grow in this really made this story stand out, and learning about the lore and history (and Nurisha’s connection to the Kurintors) gave me buy in. I thought it was also nice that a glossary was included, seeing as a lot of the names/places in this story were original. Though I don’t think it was necessary (the author did a good job during the story), it was a nice touch and consideration that most authors have on hand in their book notes, but don’t often include.

I’ve read this book in a matter of a few days over the Covid break out, and it was a great distraction from the world around me. I’d recommend this book as a great way to escape our world and dive into a very rich and creative universe Moon has mapped out for us. I’m pretty amped to get into another book of hers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable epic fantasy!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2019

This epic fantasy novel is full of diverse and well-realised characters, intriguing worldbuilding, vivid and descriptive writing, as well as fun-to-read dialogue. It tells the tale of one girl’s self-discovery and ‘awakening’. This is just in time for a looming battle with a wayward demon goddess who tricked a god a while back and is still making trouble.

The girl in question is Nurisha. She’s the adopted daughter of a retired military man-turned-smith, and has been trained by her Da in sword-fighting and archery. This kickass female character knows how to handle herself! But she’s also sweet, loyal to her father and to her husband-to-be and trusting of others.

When the birthmark on Nurisha’s wrist starts itching, she heads to the local apothecary to get it checked out. This sparks a turn of events that leads Nurisha to discover that she’s actually something much more than she realised, and that there’s a group, the Keepers of the Nine, who are currently searching for descendants of the ancient Kurintor people. The Kurintors have magic and great powers and are the only ones who can fight against the demon goddess.

But Nurisha is also being hunted down by those who are interested in her for more dubious – and not so honourable – reasons.

There are also plenty of riveting subplots, including Nurisha’s not-so-pleasant admirer who happens to be the town overseer’s son and so hard to shake off without causing trouble. He’s brilliantly described by her Da as a “coxcomb skamelar” who “ain’t worth teats on a bull.”

We also see inside the story of the ‘bad guy’ Alyelu, who has some seriously nasty father issues, as well as another young man called Xavion who is also discovering just who he is, and that he is ‘twinned’ to Nurisha (awkward! Cue lots of jealousy from her betrothed).

I really enjoyed the chapters with Nurisha, especially the moments between her and her Da. The dialogue was fun and believable and really sucked me into the story. There are a lot of unusual names, places and peoples to take in, which I enjoy, but if you’re someone who doesn’t retain more than a couple of character names then there is a handy glossary at the back to remind you who is who and what is where. There were also a few occasions when the word choice was a bit too complex for me and I had to head to Google!

Kurintor Nyusi is an enjoyable, well-paced fantasy for those who love multiple point-of-view narratives and in-depth worldbuilding.
