Prepare to embark on a thrilling journey of angels and demons with the release of the highly anticipated novel, “The Fire Stone.”

In this gripping tale, readers are transported to a world where the lines between heaven and hell are uncertain, and the destiny of powerful beings hangs in the balance.

The Fire Stone is a work of fiction in the fantasy, religious and theological adventure subgenres. The work is best suited to mature adult readers and was penned by author Brandy Marks. Using biblical themes and theology as its basis for adventure, the battle between Earth and Hell intensifies when an angel without her memories falls under the manipulative influence of a witch by association.

As the Prince of Demons, Astaroth, enters Miriam’s life, a cycle of lust and drama ensues. And a battle rages for the throne of hell when Lucifer returns to free the demons, and all the demonic forces collide as Miriam’s memories are at last returned.

Author Brandy Marks offers a lot for readers to take in throughout the pacy plot of this exciting and dramatic tale. Borrowing from the religious doctrine, she develops a dark and chilling vision of Hell that seems to offer little in the way of redemption, and Miriam’s struggle to break through it all is powerfully captivating as we relate to her emotional, physical, and spiritual journey.

I really enjoyed the dialogue and the way it uniquely characterizes each of the antagonistic forces, and the psychological journey of Astaroth was an unexpectedly striking plot twist that gave the novel yet another level of intrigue. Overall, readers seeking a drama where genuinely surprising twists and chilling suspense reign supreme need look no further.
I gave it 5 stars
