On November 4th, HarperCollins unveils Forbidden, a
seductive YA debut from award-winning middle grade author Kimberley Griffiths
Little. Forbidden transports readers back in time to the deadly deserts and
sweltering heat of Ancient Mesopotamia for a tale of danger, duty, and forbidden
love. Jayden is on the brink of womanhood and betrothed to her tribe’s prince, cold-
hearted Horeb. But when tragedy strikes, Jayden meets Kadesh, a mysterious visitor
from the south who makes Jayden doubt everything she knows. Torn between
loyalty to her tribe and the chance to escape her fate, Jayden must make a choice
that will change her life forever.
