Kilayla Pilon Author Interview

The Buried King follows an exiled princess who, with the help of her brother and good friend, tries to reclaim their kingdom and save it from a tyrant. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I didn’t really have an inspiration. I was bored one day and remembered books I’ve read at such as the GRACELING series. I decided I wanted to give it a shot and write my own fantasy collection. 

How long did it take you to imagine, draft, and write the world your characters live in?

It took me about ten months to create The Buried King. I was inspired to start it while in a psychiatric unit. 

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

I wanted to explore subjects such as the strength of friendship like we see Iin Ash’s loyalty. 

Will this novel be the start of a series or are you working on a different story?

The Buried King is part of a series! I am currently working on the sequel now with the tentative title being “The Shadow Dancer.”

THE BURIED KING is a novel touching on topics of segregation, alienation, survival of traumatic experiences and the ensuing struggles. The story follows Elika, a princess exiled from her kingdom. Follow her through spiritual guidance, reliving her past – and saving her kingdom.
Her kingdom had been conquered and overthrown by the greedy evil fake heir. Many of her family have been executed, and her world is in chaos. Elika, however refuses to allow her people to be tortured, starved and her world destroyed.

Join her on her quest to find Ash and rally her supporters to reclaim the thrown to its proper heir. Follow as she encounters both treachery, deceit, and betrayal in people Elika once trusted and counted on in her royal life; while also learning and growing as she encounters loyalty, faithfulness, bravery and a strength in herself and others she never dreamed existed. This is a story of Elika’ journey encountering heartbreak, grief, betrayal, and yes even death. Along the way learning courage and integrity, honor and humility, and most of all experiencing the life style and true strength in her people… It is an amazing story that draws you in as if you are actually there experiencing every moment right beside Elika.
