The stunning conclusion to the duology that began with the internationally bestselling Sun of Blood and Ruin, this gender-flipped Zorro reimagining weaves Mesoamerican mythology and sixteenth-century Mexican history into a swashbuckling historical fantasy filled with magic, intrigue, treachery, and romance.
They call her many things. Witch, Nagual warrior, lady, Pantera. And after defeating the Obsidian Butterfly, Leonora carries a new name: Godslayer.
Peace in Mexico City is fragile. Rebellion brews in the North, and with the people’s safety at risk, Pantera must once again become the demure viceregent Leonora to stop a war before it begins. But her friends are scattered, Tezca is gone, and one wrong move could seal her fate. Caution is her ally, for the real Prince of Asturias – her former betrothed – has arrived at court, reigniting rumours Leonora and Pantera are one.
Meanwhile, a greater threat looms in the mountains, where a false king seeks to summon the god of night using a weapon of untold power. It’s up to the Godslayer to confront this enemy… and the one growing within her. Only by embracing her divine origins can Leonora triumph over the forces of darkness – and maybe even spark a revolution that could change Mexico’s fate forever. But in doing so, she risks losing herself forever…
Mariely Lares is a Mexican-American writer of fiction. Born in the only hospital of a small town in Southern California – which, fun fact, is also Cher’s birthplace – she grew up straddling two worlds, crossing the border almost every day. She has a degree in Computer Science Engineering and lives in San Diego, where she can be found doing all the outdoorsy things, rescuing dogs, and writing her next book.
