This stunning conclusion to the Cece Rios trilogy is perfect for fans of J. C. Cervantes and Kwame Mbalia!

Cece Rios and her friends have escaped Devil's Alley, but the fight to save their world is just beginning.

Despite her growing comfort with her curandera abilities, Cece is worried that she won't be strong enough to stop her most dangerous enemy yet: her tía, Catrina. Desperate for power and revenge, Catrina has seized the throne of Devil's Alley and set her sights on the living world.

Catrina's first move is a brutal attack on the Sun Sanctuary that leaves Tierra del Sol reeling. And no matter how hard they try, Cece and her friends are always one step behind the bruja queen as she seeks to attain the powers of the gods and take control of the four elements.

Cece Rios saved her sister. She rebuilt her familia. But can she take down her vicious tía before Catrina destroys everything Cece has fought so hard to protect?

      A 13-year-old girl leads her family, friends, and townspeople into the ultimate supernatural showdown to save the world from her cruel, powerful aunt. In a fast-paced closer to this trilogy, which incorporates Mexican and Aztec influences, Cece Rios is ambushed by evil forces. She's physically threatened by the bruja army, which descends upon Tierra del Sol to steal the Sun god's soul stone for the queen of Devil's Alley, Cece's T�a Catrina. But extraordinarily kind Cece must also fight back emotionally: "How could I trust my heart, when, for the first time, it so badly wanted to hate evil more than it wanted to love what was good?" All she wants is to help everyone be happy, but she's frustrated by community members who shun her for wielding her ocean curandera powers to try to save them. And she's deeply resentful of T�a Catrina, who created this mess by hurting anyone who got in the way of her selfish, vicious quest for power. Cece's frustration grows as her aunt sends brujas and criaturas as her deadly proxies to wound and kill those Cece loves while relentlessly pursuing the three remaining gods' souls. But, as Cece learns, only light can drive out darkness. Aside from her ability to control water, Cece's greatest power is her empathetic, probing heart, which enables her to spread her light in even the worst situations. An epilogue rounds out the narrative, offering a charming peek into the characters' grown-up lives. A sweet, beautifully written adventure. (glossary) (Fantasy. 8-14)
