Mashit wants to bring life to Sheol and the myriad Shardsshattered universes where demons dwell in abject misery. Mashit has captured a quartet of Lamed Vavspecial humans with the power to sustain universesand tries 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 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 Books has said is a "feast for hardcore fantasy fans."

Praise for King of Shards

"A surreal and exotic adventure in a unique mythological setting. Scary, exhilarating fun!"

N.K. Jemisin, multiple Hugo Award-winning author of The Broken Earth trilogy

"His skill at extrapolating traditional religious lore into the stuff of fantasy bodes well for future books in the series."

Publishers Weekly

"With surprising twists and a deep and detailed universe, King of Shards, the first in a trilogy, is likely to be remembered for more than its Jewish roots."
