This book is the first popular fiction ever written on the life of Buddha, the man.

The author flew around the world in search of a book on the life of Buddha, and was amazed that no such book existed.  She took the body of work she researched while traveling and turned it into this exciting and inspiring epic that tells the story of Siddhartha as a young man: a prince in need of defending his country while defying the principles of the times, married to a woman he loves -- and the story of the man who gradually changes as his inner path is defined. A path that ultimately brings him to an Enlightenment that will make him one of the brightest Lights the world has seen.

This tale takes place in the 6th century B.C. -- a time when Nepal and India were both open to the influence of their neighbors, and vulnerable to their strategic expansion plans due to the beginning of the silk road. It is a story over 2,500 years old about a man who changed the world, and is successfully brought to modern times through the author's powerful imagination.

The reader will discover a Siddhartha made of flesh and blood in this illuminative work of fiction that addresses those who ask the principle questions of life, who loved Herman Hesse's Siddhartha and enjoy fantastic historical fiction.

 "Why is this book important"

At first glance, Siddhartha: The Warrior Prince appears to be a fictional following of the growth of a boy into an enlightened man. And any reader could not begin to dispute this plot, but more can be read from the words that spring from Kyra Pahlen's novel.

The pages revolve around the historical tale of an eastern society, but look again. Pahlen's novel is for any culture, for any religion and for any age. Siddhartha, the main character, devotes his adult life to finding the answer to what would seem to be an unattainable question. But Siddhartha's dedication is an inspiration to anyone that has ever questioned life, religion, sorrow and joy. Throughout the novel, any reader can relate to the emotions the prince experiences. Simply stated, life is filled with daily and ongoing challenges and struggles, but finding a comfort to your own existence makes the worries of life seem less of a burden and more of a strengthening of character.

Siddhartha: The Warrior Prince is unmistakably a novel for the inner spirit. It's a book worth buying for anyone who has ever felt that there was something more out there and something more within."
