NEBULA AWARD FINALIST \u2022\u00a0NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR \u2022\u00a0Tordotcom\u00a0\u2022 The New York Public Library \u2022\u00a0BookRiot<\/p>\n

The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather\u2019s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather\u2019s room. She opens it\u2014and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea\u2019s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.<\/p>\n

In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucat\u00e1n to the bright lights of Mexico City\u2014and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.<\/p>\n

Praise for Gods of Jade and Shadow<\/p>\n

\u201cA dark, dazzling fairy tale . . . a whirlwind tour of a 1920s Mexico vivid with jazz, the memories of revolution, and gods, demons, and magic.\u201d\u2014NPR<\/p>\n

\u201cSnappy dialog, stellar worldbuilding, lyrical prose, and a slow-burn romance make this a standout. . . . Purchase where Naomi Novik, Nnedi Okorafor, and\u00a0N. K. Jemisin are popular.\u201d\u2014Library Journal\u00a0(starred review)<\/p>\n

\u201cA magical novel of duality, tradition, and change . . .\u00a0Moreno-Garcia\u2019s seamless blend of mythology and history provides a ripe setting for Casiopea\u2019s stellar journey of self-discovery, which culminates in a dramatic denouement. Readers will gladly immerse themselves in Moreno-Garcia\u2019s rich and complex tale of desperate hopes and complicated relationships.\u201d\u2014Publishers Weekly\u00a0(starred review)

An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . A simmering historical noir about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the mystery of the missing woman they\u2019re both desperate to find. A dreamy reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico. <\/p>\n
