Twelve-year-old Mayaโs search for her missing father puts her at the center of a battle between our world, the Orishas, and the mysterious and sinister Dark world.
Twelve-year-old Maya is the only one in her South Side Chicago neighborhood who witnesses weird occurrences like werehyenas stalking the streets at night and a scary man made of shadows plaguing her dreams. Her friends try to find an explanationโperhaps a ghost uprising or a lunchroom experiment gone awry. But to Maya, it sounds like something from one of Papaโs stories or her favorite comics.
When Papa goes missing, Maya is thrust into a world both strange and familiar as she uncovers the truth. Her father is the guardian of the veil between our world and the Darkโwhere an army led by the Lord of Shadows, the man from Mayaโs nightmares, awaits. Maya herself is a godling, half orisha and half human, and her neighborhood is a safe haven. But now that the veil is failing, the Lord of Shadows is determined to destroy the human world and itโs up to Maya to stop him. She just hopes she can do it in time to attend Comic-Con before summerโs over.
