Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Renata Santiago is the most powerful godborn of all, a bruja with a unique heritage: her mother is Pacific, the Maya goddess of time, who gave her a magical rope that controls time, and the Mexica blood on her father’s side lets her manipulate shadows. Ren is also a girl with ordinary wishes, such as wanting her blog about alien sightings, and her theory that aliens are connected to the Maya, to be taken seriously. When an email about an alien sighting in Kansas arrives, she suspects that the cinco, five renegade godborns, are trying to awaken the nine Aztec Lords of Night and overthrow the Maya gods. With none of her friends free to help, she must team up with two strangers, a teenage hybrid demon named Edison and an eleven-year-old Aztec hunter named Montero, on a quest that will make her question her very existence.
