Force of Fire is a prequel of sorts to the Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond trilogy featuring the origin story of a rakkhosh fire demon named Pinki, who lives in the Kingdom Beyond. Like the trilogy, Force of Fire is inspired by folk tales and folklore from West Bengal, India.

Pinki is a rakkhosh demon who starts out selfish and angry, a loner who's afraid of her own magical power to wield fire. A rakkhosh demon are supposed to like thievery and eating humans, and there are plenty of jokes about it, but no humans are eaten in the book. Pinki, spend this novel figuring out who she is and overcoming her resentments and anger at her parents for being involved with the revolution for freedom. She learns to trust others and to master her own fire powers to battle back against the serpents and reclaim their land. I particularly enjoyed the humor throughout the book.

Recommended ages 10 and up. Book has positive messages of not being afraid of your own power. Your native languages and cultures are vital parts of who you are. (
