Twenty-five year-old Azriel doesn’t know much of the world beyond Shiva Puri, the village where she and two hundred other farmers live in the foothills of California. Dreams of becoming a professional dancer have been dashed by injury, and it seems her marriage to Daniel, the village manager, is the crowning achievement of her young life. Azriel’s rural existence is pleasant, if not exhilarating, and so the world goes on. Until it doesn’t. The sages of ancient India tell of a terrifying being that will come forth from the underworld to end the reign of humankind. Shhhh. It’s just folklore, a superstition, a tale to frighten children.Until it isn’t.When the apocalypse comes, waves of unearthly pulsations crush everything in their path and fast-moving firestorms sweep North America. The survivors of Shiva Puri need a leader if they’re to make it through the devastation. Factions splinter and tensions escalate, but no one is aware of the real danger lurking. The demon Kali, Lord of Rakshasa, Tiger of Lanka, circles the last remnants of humanity.People disappear, and Azriel realizes she must perform her most delicate dance, defeating the vilest creature humankind has ever known, and preserving her humanity in the process. Azriel Dancer is the first of four novels in the Daughters of the Apocalypse quartet, in which author Bob Jenkins takes the reader from the first seconds of a mysterious global catastrophe, to the birth of a new civilization fifty years later.

About the Author

Bob Jenkins grew up as a “service kid,” moving from post to post, following his fighter pilot father from Florida to Hawaii, acquiring that worldly-wise attitude common to his tribe (marine brats). Running away from home at sixteen, he wound his way along the coasts of Florida, up through Georgia, and the Carolina, a teenage gentleman of the highway. In the four years that followed, he saw service with the Marines, surviving consecutive combat tours in Viet Nam where he spent two years playing guitar, painting, writing poetry, and dodging rockets. Returning to civilian life, he earned a PhD in dramatic criticism, squeezing two seasons of summer stock in between terms, and finagled year of acting and directing in New York at the Harry Chapin Theatre. In 1975, Jenkins secured a professorship at San Jose State University, where he worked his way up through the ranks to become Chairman of the Department of Television, Film, Radio, and Drama. During his tour of academic duty, he freelanced as an actor, director, and playwright. He was twice featured as a headliner at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesboro, Tennessee, where he performed in circus tents for thousands of story lovers. Bob Jenkins has published stories, albums (Dangerous Nights and The Man Who Wanted Incredible Things), and magazine and journal articles about storytelling and theatre. His children’s plays, (Pinocchio, The Ghost Hour, and Puppets!) have been professionally produced at the Children’s Theatre Workshop and the Saratoga Chamber Theatre and toured throughout California by the Gallivanting Inspiration Group. The four volumes of Daughters of the Kali Yuga are his first novels.
