Ballad & Dagger (An Outlaw Saints Novel)

"Years ago, the secretive island of San Madrigal sank into the Caribbean, and its people – the descendants of pirates, Sephardic Jews and Cuban Santeros – found refuge in Brooklyn. Now, after witnessing a murder at the hands of Chela Hidalgo, the girl he has heart-eyes for, 16-year-old Mateo Matisse discovers he’s at the center of a confluence of chaotic events. Gods, magic and a battle for power threaten what’s left of his community. It’s everything you know and love about Daniel José Older’s work: thrilling, funny and charming with a dash of romance."
