“Aside from her ability to control water, Cece’s greatest power is her empathetic, probing heart, which enables her to spread her light in even the worst situations…. A sweet, beautifully written adventure.”

– Kirkus Reviews

Cece Rios and the Queen of Brujas

Written by Kaela Rivera
Published by HarperCollins

Cece Rios and her friends have escaped Devil’s Alley, but the fight to save their world is just beginning.
Despite her growing comfort with her curandera abilities, Cece is worried that she won’t be strong enough to stop her most dangerous enemy yet: her tía, Catrina. Desperate for power and revenge, Catrina has seized the throne of Devil’s Alley and set her sights on the living world.

Catrina’s first move is a brutal attack on the Sun Sanctuary that leaves Tierra del Sol reeling. And no matter how hard they try, Cece and her friends are always one step behind the bruja queen as she seeks to attain the powers of the gods and take control of the four elements.

Cece Rios saved her sister. She rebuilt her familia. But can she take down her vicious tía before Catrina destroys everything Cece has fought so hard to protect?
