About Knights of Sadira:

The Knights of Sadira is a dark supernatural fantasy novel series telling the story of a once ancient sorority of demon slayers operating in secret in a surrealistic, cyberpunk future. 

Firmly entrenched between dark fantasy and horror, the series follows five women in a generational struggle to overcome darkness, from the outside and within themselves.

With engaging, relatable characters caught in the familiar, classic struggle between good and evil, The Knights of Sadira tells a tale of belonging, the testing of kinship, loss, trauma, identity, and death. Murder Baby is the first of four books.
