Brooklynite Alex, the strongest bruja (witch) of her generation, despises her magic. At her coming-of-age celebration, she tries to dispose of her power. Instead, Alex accidentally banishes her loved ones to the purgatorial realm of Los Lagos and must travel there to save them. Despite the stilted writing, Córdova's world is vibrant and brimming with magic; Alex's journey is captivating and intense.
