Synopsis:
Fresh off her triumph in the Night Forest, Lucha Moya is back in Robado to settle unfinished business. The stunning fantasy duology about addiction, power, and love comes to a close in tale of treacherous villains, environmental disaster, and a love triangle its heroine doesn’t see coming.
Lucha Moya has always wanted one thing–to be free of the place she once called home. After defeating the rogue god of olvida, the forgetting drug, Lucha leaves the fortress of the acolytes—which houses her sister and Paz, a girl she never thought she’d fall in love with—to return to Robado one last time and eradicate the drug from existence. There, everything is worse this time around. Amidst the suffering, she surprises herself by seeing something familiar in the eyes of the villagers–her own hope and desperation reflected back at her.
Suddenly, her village and, more importantly, the people who live in it, are worth saving, not discarding. She even finds herself falling for one of the Robadans, which puts her feelings for Paz into question. Lucha’s training and whirlwind experiences develop her as a fierce leader who’ll do anything to protect her people. But even as she tries, some thing is lurking once again in the Night Forest, eager to claim its prize.
Will Lucha be able to step into her power once again to save the only home she’s ever known, or will she lose everything she’s fought so hard to obtain?
In the finale of this gorgeous and fast-paced fantasy duology from acclaimed author Tehlor Kay Mejia is brimming with adventure, romance, the burning questions of what it means to be a leader and how to listen to your heart when it’s being pulled in two directions.
