Description

Heroes come in all shapes. The war for Andor has lasted a century. Humans and their allies, the Angeli, fight demons from another plane who need a warmer planet to hatch and raise their young. Trebridge becomes Ground zero when Abraxas, a minion of the demon Prince Vetis, opens a secret portal into the city. The demons’ goal is to build an army to subjugate the city before the humans realize they are under attack.

Standing in the demons’ way are two disparate groups: the humans of Andor and their Angeli allies who command gargoyle warriors. Leading the four gargoyles guarding Trebridge is Gillen, a proven war hero who uses magic to fight demons. But Gillen is an outcast, mocked for his tuft of hair that normal gargoyles lack. It’s up to him to prove once and for all that he’s worthy of his command, in spite of dissention in his ranks. When Gillen asks the Angeli Commanders for reinforcements to fight the growing demon menace in Trebridge, headquarters send four human teens from the projects.

The leader of the humans is Britt, a 14-year-old half-Hispanic girl who is one of the four magic-possessing Chosen. But Britt was never trained in the art of magic, and like most girls her age, spends her days preoccupied with school and romance. Like Gillen, she must rise above her station in life--if she is to save the ones she loves. But Gillen and Britt are facing formidable demon foes, Abraxas: a chicken-headed demon who possesses several humans as part of his plan to build the demons’ base in Trebridge and power-hungry Prince Vetis who is his commander. Neither will let the deaths of expendable humans get in their way of the conquest.

In There Be Demons, author M.K. Theodoratus spins a brilliant tale of good versus evil. In this thrilling Young Adult fantasy novel, unlikely heroes rise to challenge a relentless enemy. Join them as they risk everything to save their city.

Featured Reviews

I received an advance copy for review of There Be Demons by M.K. Theodoratus from Net Galley via Wooden Pants Publishing. I’ve often stated in the past that my favorite fantasy characters are dragons. I might have to revise that statement to include Gargoyles. Gillen and the Gargoyle Guardians were almost the stars of There Be Demons. Only the four young humans who have been drafted to assist the gargoyles in their fight to contain the demons and their imps outshine Gillen’s team. The young folks are interesting and spunky, mature way beyond their years while retaining the recklessness of the young who fail to recognize how much danger they’re in. As they work hard to learn the art of using Grace as a weapon and containment tool, they stumble more than once. I recommend There Be Demons for lovers of urban fantasy and those who already know and appreciate the stories of M.K. Theodoratus.

First please note that this isn't a super-gritty, very dark, true grotesque face of evil book - it is a young adult book so if you are looking for any of those things then you won't enjoy this book. Although the synopsis is unusually short, it does make you wonder just what four untrained kids could possibly do to battle demons! The gargoyles are guardians, helping to battle against the demons. Interesting read, definitely more geared towards young adults, but a light read for adults who love fantasy.
