Demona: Book One

There is a world beyond our own whose magic still runs rampant; it runs deeper than the roots of the earth and thicker than the air we breathe. While humans of Earth have forsaken the natural order for technological advancement, Billayo still lives and breathes the magical essence of nature and of the soul. A planet much like our own, with vast seas, awesome mountain ranges, and its own giant sun and moon, Billayo could be the long lost twin of our Earth.

Perhaps eons ago, the worlds had been closer, or travel had been possible, as Earth retains myths and legends of incredible creatures that are of flesh and blood on Billayo. Dragons, fairies, gryphons, shapeshifers, sylphs, all with their own various races and cultures are alive and thriving, including those with their own innate talent that the humans of Earth have forsaken, labeling those with traces of that talent as “witches”.

While humans strangle their world with technology, the Majiki, those with magic in their blood, co-exist with the natural order of Billayo.

No world, however, is perfect.

Even here, prejudices have split the peoples, peace is threatened by the humans and their hatred, and hidden at the edge of the world, an ancient evil watches and waits, compelling those who are easily manipulated. Should the evil become too powerful, it would consume Billayo and move on to other worlds to appease its insatiable appetite.

It would come for Earth.

Demona begins the story of the struggle to save the worlds. A young woman of mixed race, born of both good and evil, contains the key to Billayo’s salvation. Abused, starved, treated like a wild animal, her journey begins in the cell of a human beast. She’s given up all hope of rescue, family, love — until the unthinkable happens. She is freed. Released from unendurable slavery, she has the power to save two worlds.

But first she has to learn how to be human.
