Gods Of Jade And Shadow

"Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes readers on a myth-dazzled road trip through 1920s Mexico in Gods of Jade and Shadow. It starts out as a simple Cinderella-esque tale: Casiopeia is little more than a drudge in the house of her wealthy grandfather, until she finds a locked chest containing the dismembered body of Hun-Kamé, the Maya god of death. But Moreno-Garcia spins her story out to stranger places, rejecting the easy arc of a fairy tale. You’ll be left wondering where Casiopeia will go next — and longing for more of her magical world."
