HUNTINGTON, N.Y. - s4story -- Local author K.A. Nayampalli returns to Long Island this summer to celebrate her debut novel, A Journey to the Heart of Kumari: Guardians of a Secret Legacy, with a live book signing at The Next Chapter LI in Huntington on Thursday, July 3rd at 7:00 PM.

After several years abroad with her military family, Nayampalli is returning from Germany to connect with local readers and introduce them to a novel inspired by Nepal's sacred landscapes and the search for ancient truth.

Guardians of a Secret Legacy follows a sixteen-year-old boy whose family trip becomes a life-altering quest for a forgotten diamond—and for the secrets that lie buried within his own family's past. Aimed at young adult readers, the book blends adventure, spiritual resonance, and emotional depth in a story that spans continents and generations.
