Ren Santiago and her friends are back in the breathtaking finale to J. C. Cervantes’ Maya-inspired Shadow Bruja duology!

But at the end of Lords of Night, didn’t Ren . . . you know?

All will be revealed when Dawn of the Jaguar: A Shadow Bruja Novel is released on 10/10/23. Until then, you’ll have to be content with feasting your eyes on the cover, courtesy of artist Alba Palacio, and reading the plot teaser below.

Shadow bruja Ren Santiago has been relentlessly pursued by the evil Aztec Lords of Night, who claim that she is destined to be their queen. To escape their clutches, Ren has to make a bargain with Ixtab, queen of the underworld. Ixtab gives her ten days to retrieve the crown of jade and shadow that Ren discarded. If Ren fails, she will remain in the underworld for eternity.

How will Ren manage to accomplish this task and also save her friends from the Lords of Night? The answer lies not in manipulating shadows or time, but in recognizing the awesome power that has always been inside her.
