From the author of The Serpent’s Secret comes a powerful new fantasy adventure: Force of Fire: A Kingdom Beyond Novel by Sayantani DasGupta.
 
In the Kingdom Beyond, magic, mythology, and danger collide. Pinki, a rakkhoshi fire demon, would rather focus on her friends and fiery abilities than on saving the world. But when the Serpentine Soul Naga threatens her people, Pinki must face impossible choices. Caught between protecting those she loves and uncovering her true power, Pinki’s journey leads her to discover courage, justice, and her own destiny.
 
Rooted in South Asian folklore and told with humor, heart, and dazzling imagination, Force of Fire is both a standalone fantasy adventure and part of the larger Kingdom Beyond series.
