Meanwhile, she sends her daughter, Daphna, to Earth, hoping to establish rule over humanity there. But Daphna, long estranged from her mother, is not keen on her mother's schemes. And neither is the imprisoned Ashmedai.

Queen of Static continues the Worldmender Trilogy, a series that The Huffington Post has referred to as a "unique fantasy cosmos" and that NPR has said is a "feast for hardcore fantasy fans."
