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.
Dawn of Fate and Fire by Mariely Lares is expected out August 12, 2025 from Harper Voyager.
Why am I waiting on this book? It intrigues me that this is a Zorro retelling. I still need to read book one. From the descriptions of both books though, this is an imaginative duology I should definitely not miss.

I like the connection of Mesoamerican myths and Mexican history. I look forward to reading your review.
ReplyDeleteHonestly that sold it to me too in addition to the Zorro reimagining. Your pick for this week, Six Days in Bombay, looks good too. Hope you enjoy it!
