Lesser Demons

A wondrous discovery of a lineage of humanity capable of manipulating matter (Painters) in an upended world, Rose Card-Faux’s LESSER DEMONS delivers the journey of Zanny Monroe, the convolutions of her newfound powers and the weight of being a prophesied saviour. In that regard, the novel merges an archetypical teenage chosen-one narrative with a mostly original mythology. Through a nostalgic nod to dystopian fiction and classic young fantasy, Card-Faux conveys a well-rounded tale which thrives on the tension between the protagonist’s fate and the might of The Angel, a capricious cult leader.
