Its sequel, THE EXALTED followed in 2019. Her debut novel, THE DIMINISHED, was published by HarlequinTEEN in 2018. After a 10 year stint in West Tennessee, she’s once more happily living at the feet of the mountains that raised her. The key twist connecting the two main characters is obvious, but the story is no less entertaining for it, and it’s easy to root for the couples Patterson has crafted. Kaitlyn Sage Patterson grew up with her nose in a book outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After a slow start dense with worldbuilding, Patterson settles into a character-driven narrative that champions self-determination and condemns xenophobia. The two seem fated to remain strangers until a shocking revelation places them both in the crosshairs of the Suzerain religious order and its assassins.
In their society, twins who split a conscience are standard, so both Bo and Vi are considered oddities: Bo because he is an only child, and Vi because her twin perished in infancy and, unusually, she has yet to succumb to grief or lose her mind. Obedience “Vi” Abernathy is a foundling who is feared by the public and treated like a slave. The Diminished by Kaitlyn Sage Patterson is the first book in what seems to be an untitled as yet young adult fantasy duology. As Queen Runa’s favorite nephew, Ambrose “Bo” Trousillion is likely to succeed her as ruler of the Alskad Empire.
First in a duology, Patterson’s sprawling debut follows two teenagers living very different lives.
