Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls

Living in the remote town of Tierra del Sol is dangerous, especially in the criatura months, when powerful spirits roam the desert and threaten humankind. But Cecelia Rios has always believed there was more to the criaturas, much to her family’s disapproval. After all, only brujas — humans who capture and control criaturas — consort with the spirits, and brujeria is a terrible crime.

When her older sister, Juana, is kidnapped by El Sombrerón, a powerful dark criatura, Cece is determined to bring Juana back. To get into Devil’s Alley, though, she’ll have to become a bruja herself — while hiding her quest from her parents, her town, and the other brujas. Thankfully, the legendary criatura Coyote has a soft spot for humans and agrees to help her on her journey.

With Coyote at her side, Cece sets out to reunite her family — and maybe even change what it means to be a bruja along the way. This adventure-filled middle grade fantasy that draws on Aztec myth is perfect for fans of The Storm Runner and Aru Shah and the End of Time.

Description

"Everyone believes a childhood encounter with a criatura cursed Cece with a soul like water — and left her 'the weakest person in the village.' But when a 'powerful dark criatura' known as 'El Sombrerón, the Bride Stealer' snatches Juana right before her eyes, Cece must tap into her inner strength and enter a world of battles and brujas to get her sister back. With excellent pacing and rich world-building, debut author Rivera flawlessly immerses readers in the landscape of Tierra del Sol and Cece’s journey." — Publishers Weekly
