Excerpt from We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Mejia, plus links to reviews, author biography & more

Maybe the girls she went to school with didn't know what it meant to feel that fierce loyalty to their families. That duty. But she did, and to turn her back on it would mean to let go of the last little piece of Polvo she'd been allowed to keep.

So tonight, Dani let herself take comfort in her new papers, despite the source. To take comfort in knowing she was that much closer to what her parents wanted for her. Maybe Sota had been telling the truth. Maybe La Voz had helped her because they thought she was one of them. Maybe it had been an intervention by the goddess of luck at her lowest moment.

Whatever it had been, Dani didn't intend to waste this chance.
