Two gods-turned-teenagers wage simultaneous battles in the Caribbean
and Brooklyn in this breathless sequel to BALLAD & DAGGER.
Healer. Destroyer. Creator. Mateo Matisse and Chela Hidalgo are not just
two teenagers in love--they're powerful gods in human form. Powerful
enough to have saved their Brooklyn diaspora community from the wrath of
an ancient enemy and to have raised their once-sunken native island of
San Madrigal from the sea.
But soon they discover that their problems are far from over. On the
shores of San Madrigal, two creature armies are battling for survival.
And on the streets of Brooklyn, a once tight-knit community is divided,
with two sides at each other's throats. But worst of all, a
heartbreaking prophecy rips these two young lovers apart, sending Mateo
back to the city, where cops are now patrolling the streets, and keeping
Chela tethered to the island, where chaos and death lurk around every
corner.
Healer. Destroyer. Creator. As gods, their powers know no limits. But as
teenagers--separated, desperate, grieving--what will become of them? And
what will become of their people?
Join their battle and witness their love in this thrilling conclusion
to the epic saga that began with BALLAD & DAGGER.
