About Queen of Static

Queen Mashit has usurped the throne of Sheol from Ashmedai, who now swings in a cage above a river of fire. Mashit wants to bring life to Sheol and the myriad Shards-shattered universes where demons dwell in abject misery. Mashit has captured a quartet of Lamed Vav-special humans with the power to sustain universes-and tries to force them to her will. Meanwhile, she sends her daughter, Daphna, to Earth, hoping to establish rule over humanity there. But Daphna, long estranged from her mother, is not keen on her mother's schemes. And neither is the imprisoned Ashmedai. While Ashmedai and Daphna hatch plans of their own, Daniel Fisher, once a Lamed Vavnik himself but now beset by a dark and all-consuming curse, travels to the far corners of Earth seeking a doorway to Sheol, determined to save humanity no matter the cost.

Queen of Static continues the Worldmender Trilogy, a series that The Huffington Post has referred to as a "unique fantasy cosmos" and that NPR has said is a "feast for hardcore fantasy fans."
