Description
After a life-altering surgery leaves Abby with a body that won’t quite obey, her half-sister Makeda—once marked by the supernatural “mojo” of their demigod family—finds herself facing a different kind of loss: the absence of magic that once defined her. Raised in a loud, loving, complicated divine household, the sisters must navigate family loyalty, identity, and the painful gap between what they were promised and what they can actually do. When their demigod father vanishes, Makeda is forced to leave the safety of the capital-F-Family and live among humans, where survival demands more than inherited power. As a deadly haint closes in, the sisters’ bond becomes both a refuge and a battleground, exploring themes of disability, self-made strength, and what it means to belong when your gifts—and your future—are uncertain. Nalo Hopkinson’s distinctive, character-driven storytelling blends mythic imagination with grounded family dynamics, delivering a tense, heartfelt journey into resilience and chosen magic.
