Lucha of the Night Forest

By Tehlor Kay Mejia
Lucha of the Night Forest by Tehlor Kay Mejia digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

An edge-of-your-seat fantasy about a girl who will do anything to protect her sister—even if it means striking a dangerous bargain. Dark forces, forgotten magic, and a heart-stopping queer romance make this young adult novel a must-read.

A scorned god.
A mysterious acolyte.
A forgetting drug.
A dangerous forest.

One girl caught between the freedom she always wanted and a sister she can't bear to leave behind.

Under the cover of the Night Forest, will Lucha be able to step into her own power...or will she be consumed by it?

This gorgeous and fast-paced fantasy novel from acclaimed author Tehlor Kay Mejia is brimming with adventure, peril, romance, and family bonds—and asks what it means for a teen girl to become fully herself.

Thumbs Up“It was a nice fantasy book. I did enjoy the powers featured in the story also the great mythical characters woven into the story. The plot was quite slow sometimes and the storyline did get confusing as well.”

Thumbs Up“I liked the magic in this story and the characters, but the whole thing was so serious from the very beginning that it started to feel a little bit relentless. I wanted a little more joy from the book even though it was a dark and tumultuous setting. Not a bad book, just very very very serious from beginning to end.”

“A darkly rich story filled with eerie mystical forests, haunting immortals, and a lot of exploration into familial trauma and bonds. The pacing of this story was really well done in the introduction to the more magical aspects of the world. Lucha's personality, motivations, and weaknesses all felt very grounded in her character and believable for her growth. The entire time I just rooted for her to have some peace and happiness, so yes, this one had my heart aching for her.”
