From the New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi, a galvanizing stand-alone contemporary fantasy following a burnt-out reproductive health care worker as she fights back against escalating attacks on her clinic and the malevolent forces in hot pursuit of her newly acquired power.As a reproductive health care worker in Chicago, Nisha is barely staying afloat in the ocean of abortion bans, screaming protestors, and her own all-consuming depression. When she escapes to the Indian art exhibit at her favorite museum for a brief respite, Nisha suddenly finds herself bleeding, disoriented, and collapsed on the ground. The last thing she remembers is the statue that beckoned her to touch it. In the days that follow, Nisha feels a strange power coursing within her, one that attracts a host of dangerous and enigmatic characters who covet it for themselves. Facing threats both otherworldly and distinctly human, Nisha must navigate uncertain alliances to piece together the centuries-old mystery of her odd and terrifying abilities. And as danger closes in on her loved ones, community, and the clinic she’s determined to protect, Nisha must make a choice about the life she wants—and fight all the demons standing in her way to get it.

"At a crucial moment in a shifting political climate, We Dance Upon Demons is starting an important conversation about reproductive rights."—Rachel Raposas, People “Patel uses fascinating fantastical elements to augment a stirring and timely tale about the progressively volatile status of reproductive rights in the United States…The magic system, drawn from Hindu mythology, feels fresh, and it’s deeply satisfying to witness Nisha learn what she’s truly capable of. It’s a brilliant combination of gripping urban fantasy and urgent social commentary.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review “The most unique and exciting premise for a story that I have read in the past few months….Patel fits multiple threats and subplots into We Dance Upon Demons without losing sight of the main conflict….a powerful book with lots of momentum and characters who wear their hearts on their sleeves. I’m always going to commend and recommend a book that can make me laugh, feel angry, sad and vindicated all in one read, and Patel excels in giving us a protagonist to root for.”—Maya C. James, Locus "Patel’s latest draws on the history of abortion as well as Indian folklore to paint a thoroughly contemporary picture of the courage of women’s health providers and clinic escorts and the violence and hatred of extremists, all surrounding a coming-of-age story about a young woman learning to believe in her own body and its power. Entertaining, emotional, and relevant."—Leah von Essen, Booklist
