In this highly anticipated contemporary fantasy, twelve-year-old Maya&;s search for her missing father puts her at the center of a battle between our world, the Orishas, and the mysterious and sinister Dark world. Perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End of Time and The Serpent&;s Secret.
Twelve-year-old Maya is the only one in her South Side Chicago neighborhood who witnesses weird occurrences like werehyenas stalking the streets at night and a scary man made of shadows plaguing her dreams. Her friends try to find an explanation&;perhaps a ghost uprising or a lunchroom experiment gone awry. But to Maya, it sounds like something from one of Papa&;s stories or her favorite comics.
When Papa goes missing, Maya is thrust into a world both strange and familiar as she uncovers the truth. Her father is the guardian of the veil between our world and the Dark&;where an army led by the Lord of Shadows, the man from Maya&;s nightmares, awaits. Maya herself is a godling, half orisha and half human, and her neighborhood is a safe haven. But now that the veil is failing, the Lord of Shadows is determined to destroy the human world and it&;s up to Maya to stop him. She just hopes she can do it in time to attend Comic-Con before summer&;s over.
