Karma of the Sun by Brandon Ying Kit Boey

Step into a world where ancient Tibetan Buddhism collides with post-apocalyptic survival in this stunning debut that reimagines the refugee experience through the lens of epic fantasy.

Karma of the Sun follows a young refugee named Karma as he leads his people across a dying, sun-scorched landscape in search of the legendary land of Shambhala. When their caravan is attacked and his father killed, Karma must embrace a destiny he never wanted—guided by prophecy, hunted by enemies, and burdened by the weight of his community’s survival.

Brandon Ying Kit Boey weaves Tibetan mythology and spirituality into a breathtaking adventure that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary. This isn’t just another quest narrative—it’s a meditation on displacement, identity, and what we carry with us when home becomes a memory. The prose is rich with the texture of high-altitude winds and prayer flags, yet moves with the propulsive energy of the best adventure fiction.

Perfect for readers who loved The Poppy War or Black Sun, this book offers:

• A fresh voice in fantasy that centers Tibetan culture and philosophy
• Complex characters navigating impossible choices
• World-building that honors its source material while creating something entirely new
• Themes of refuge, resilience, and the stories that sustain us

Whether you’re drawn to epic journeys, cultural fantasy, or simply a story that lingers long after the final page, Karma of the Sun deserves a place on your shelf.
