Half-god, half-human Rue is snatched from her Houston home to Ghizon, a secret land of gods, by her estranged father, then must face an evil determined to steal everything from her. - Simon and Schuster
Instant New York Times bestseller!
âA remarkable, breathtaking, earthshaking, poetic thrillride.â âDaniel José Older, New York Times bestselling author of Shadowshaper
?In this riveting, keenly emotional debut fantasy, a Black teen from Houston has her world upended when she learns about her godly ancestry and must save both the human and god worlds. Perfect for fans of Angie Thomas, Tomi Adeyemi, and The Hunger Games!
âMake a way out of no wayâ is just the way of life for Rue. But when her mother is shot dead on her doorstep, life for her and her younger sister changes forever. Rueâs taken from her neighborhood by the father she never knew, forced to leave her little sister behind, and whisked away to Ghizonâa hidden island of magic wielders.
Rue is the only half-god, half-human there, where leaders protect their magical powers at all costs and thrive on human suffering. Miserable and desperate to see her sister on the anniversary of their motherâs death, Rue breaks Ghizonâs sacred Do Not Leave Law and returns to Houston, only to discover that Black kids are being forced into crime and violence. And her sister, Tasha, is in danger of falling sway to the very forces that claimed their motherâs life.
Worse still, evidence mounts that the evil plaguing East Row is the same one that lurks in Ghizonâan evil that will stop at nothing until it has stolen everything from her and everyone she loves. Rue must embrace her true identity and wield the full magnitude of her ancestorsâ power to save her neighborhood before the gods burn it to the ground.
