She’s a hip California 30-something who’s discovered that she’s the incarnation of Kali, the Hindu goddess of death and destruction. And she needs to save the world while her family attempts to play an aggressive game of match-making, which is the last thing even a goddess of death needs.
Of course, it’s not like she has fans. She does, however, have hateful, murderous fanatics after her.

Kai Meyer is a successful Young Adult author in his home country, Germany, and his books are now being translated to English. This is the third book in the Wave Walkers trilogy, an epic pirate story that takes place in an immersive and fantastical world.
His other series, Dark Reflections, features a flying stone lion, a girl who’s the embodiment of the Flowing Queen, and her friend with mirrors for eyes, as they travel through a world involving all things Egyptian.
For some reason, some of his books are attributed to, I believe, his translators, rather than him.
Other Kai Meyer books available:
Wave Walkers trilogy:
- Pirate Curse (aka The Wave Runners)
- Pirate Emperor (aka The Shell Magicians)
- Pirate Wars (aka The Water Weavers)
Dark Reflections trilogy:
- The Water Mirror (aka The Flowing Queen), not yet available
- The Stone Light
- The Glass Word

Three books in one. If you loved Twilight, or if you loved the idea of Twilight and hated the actual execution, you may find this series quite eerily attractive.
The entire first book, Night World, is available as a complete free sample. (Don’t pay attention to the 1-star ratings, which complain about how they’re not getting all three books for free….)
To be continued.
