Booklist - 01/01/2026 In this companion to The Daggers of Ire (2024), Cervantes delivers a magical tale of courage, friendship, and family. After venturing into the Otherworld to help his friend Esme and other brujxes, Fetch—a Zindero who weaves spells with enchanted thread—is ready to settle an old score. Five years earlier, the Winter Queen Celeste kidnapped his sister and cursed him into a fox form, leaving him burdened with guilt and regret. When news spreads that the queen will host a winter festival in 10 days, Fetch seizes the chance to infiltrate the castle, rescue his sister, and take revenge. With the help of Beck (a tiny bone-dream dragon), Garzo (a dramatic and vain fairy), and Hawthorn (the adopted daughter of a dríada), Fetch embarks on an adventure marked by danger, redemption, and self-discovery. Cervantes creates a vibrant, Latin-infused fantasy world filled with memorable, emotionally resonant characters. A lively mix of humor, suspense, and high stakes keeps the story moving quickly. A strong pick for readers who enjoy Claribel A. Ortega and Carlos Hernandez. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
