The stunning conclusion to the duology that began with the internationally bestselling Sun of Blood and Ruin, this Zorro reimagining weaves Mesoamerican mythology and sixteenth-century Mexican history into a swashbuckling historical fantasy filled with magic, intrigue, treachery, and romance.
They call her many things. Witch, Nagual Warrior, lady, Pantera. And after defeating the Obsidian Butterfly, Leonora carries a new title: Godslayer.
Peace in Mexico City is fragile. Rebellion brews in the North, and when the people's safety is at risk, Pantera must once again become the demure viceregent Leonora to stop a war before it begins. But her friends are scattered, Tezca is gone, and one wrong move could seal her fate. Caution is her ally, for the real Prince of Asturias--her former betrothed--has arrived at court, reigniting rumors that Leonora and Pantera are one.
A greater threat looms in the mountains, where a false king seeks to summon the god of night using a weapon of untold power. It's up to the Godslayer to confront this enemy. . . and the one growing within her. Only by embracing her divine origins can Leonora triumph over the forces of darkness--and maybe even spark a revolution that could change Mexico's fate forever.
But in doing so, she risks losing herself forever.

I really enjoyed this conclusion of the Sun of Blood and Ruin duology. This historical fantasy steeped in Mexican folklore was highly entertaining and I actually enjoyed it more than I did Sun of Blood and Ruin, which I also enjoyed reading.Filled with magic, action, political machinations, love, family, folklore and history, I found this book to be captivating. Lares’ writing is lush and her world building descriptive. I found myself warming up to Leonora in this book much more than I did in book one, and was really pushing for her and Tezca to overcome their situation and end up together. Whether they do or not, you’ll have to find out.All in all, this Mexican folklore inspired fantasy was a great sequel to the first book. If you’re on the fence about reading it, I say do it. I liked it much more than book one.
