BANISHED is the epic sequel to FORBIDDEN, set in the unforgiving deserts of ancient Mesopotamia. Jayden's courage will be put to the test as she fights for her survival and the one she loves.
Jayden thought she had lost everything. After months of traveling in the desert, she discovers her beloved Kadesh is injured but still alive. However, the two must flee immediately, for the vengeful and jealous Horeb is on their trail, desperate to take Jayden back to be his bride.
The trek to the southern lands comes with heartache and danger, and as Jayden and Kadesh draw closer to their destination, she realizes that even he has been keeping secrets from her . . . ones that will change everything.
Kimberley Griffiths Little's riveting sequel to Forbidden will leave readers begging for the final installment.

Snippet Time!
With bare
toes, I stepped along the spongy bank, making my way to a covert spot along the
river. Quickly, I dropped my dress and entered the river. After traveling
for weeks on the desert, immersing myself was a luxury, the water dream-like
against my bare skin.
The
tamarisk trees rustled and a flash glittered beyond the trees. I scrambled up
the bank and grabbed my dagger from its sheath, my breath raspy.
“Is someone
there?” I called in a harsh whisper. My thighs were taut with nerves as I threw
the dress back over my head just as Asher stepped out of the shadows. My
stomach dropped sickeningly. “Have you been watching me?”
“No, my
lady, no!” The young man strode forward to reassure me. “I was on watch and
heard noises. I had no idea it was you. I apologize for intruding.”
Heat rose
like wildfire from my toes to my damp chest, stomach queasy at the sight of
him. “Do you speak the truth?”
The young
man pressed a hand against his heart. “I do not lie. I had no idea you were out
here. But when you walked up the bank you were the loveliest thing I’ve ever
seen in my life.”
My mouth
opened and I spluttered, “Get some sleep, Asher,” I said, making my voice
brisk. “Before the camp rises.” I couldn’t get to my bed fast enough. When I
lay down, my heart was still pounding.
Asher had
denied it, but I knew he’d seen me rising naked out of the river.
And let's get to know the author better!
4. The
best thing about writing is ... typing The
End. Haha! While The End gives a huge sense of accomplishment, especially
after months of hair-pulling angst, I love those moments when ideas suddenly
come pouring into your mind like magic.
5. When
I am not writing, I like to ....besides reading, I’ve always loved to bake,
since I was a kid. Cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies—but mostly because I like
to eat them!
6. I
am working on ... a Victorian-Era thriller with bits of paranormal and
steam-punk.
