And in the end, she’ll become something she never imagined. Yet it’s hard to ignore power when it has always been denied you. Magic is the sign of the dark god, and using it is punishable by death. Eva knows she should fight the temptation. She tries to be the perfect daughter, but Eva is hiding a secret: Magic calls to her. Illegitimate and of mixed heritage, Eva is her family’s shame. Even the bidding of an ancient god who whispers to her at night. Now dependent on the Doña’s magic for her life, Reina will do anything to earn-and keep-her favor. Attacked by creatures that stalk the mountains, Reina is on the verge of death until her grandmother, a dark sorceress, intervenes. But the journey to her is dangerous, and prayer can’t always avert disaster. Stuck on the edges of society, Reina’s only hope lies in an invitation from a grandmother she’s never met. An enthralling tale of ancient gods, dangerous magic, family and love." ―Sue Lynn Tan, author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess Two women embark on a unforgettable quest that draws them into a world of dark gods and ancient magic in this sweeping fantasy debut inspired by the history and folklore of colonial South America.
