Nine White Stones - Paperback ed.: Cancel the Woke. Conquer Your Demons.

by Dan Kazi

A woman struggles against a powerful demon she is bound to, while fighting against a terrifying conspiracy to sunder the world using demonic magic. Shelby Schouwenaars inadvertently binds the demon called Fen to herself, powerful enough to make her into a superhero, but with a steep price. It's our world, the turn of the millennium, and magic exists as what a human can get a demon to do. Fen starts in control. He runs Shelby's life. But Shelby begins to find her own strength when she meets Jenn Blake, and their bond puts Fen to shame. Monique D'Aubainne is an arch-sorceress bent on merging our world with the demonic. Her power grows as she recruits thousands to her cause. Monique's followers love her because she stands for the forceful punishment of Man - controlling him, and destroying him if he disobeys - beliefs they share with demon-kind. When the whole world is threatened by powers that have remained hidden for centuries, it falls to one woman to reject the dark ideology that demonic magic demands, and bring freedom back to humanity... Prepare for an edgy and dark woman-warrior tale-violent, intense and gory. Towns full of savage cultists, a one-woman army against dozens; against hundreds. Demonic abominations, reality-warping atrocities. Brutal displays of trans-dimensional magic. One woman's physical and emotional journey-marked by her nine white stones-from small beginnings to international heroine!

I was one of the beta readers of this book. It is INTENSE and not for the faint of heart. The main character goes on an incredible hero's journey that is marked by both tragedy and triumph. It is the story of a woman that literally faces her demons, kicks them in the ass and owns them.

I'm the author, but here are the current reviews I know of:

“Amazing book! It is a high paced action packed ride. Just when you think you’re about to get a chance to put it down for a break, the tempo accelerates to new heights and keeps you engrossed in finding out what happens next. Best read for me this year so far. Start working on a sequel, Dan!” —Robert Lovejoy, US Army Major (Ret.)

"In his vigorous yarn, Kazi creates an intricate, richly drawn fictive world." "An imaginative, contemporary sword-and-sorcery epic..." --Kirkus Reviews
