"A beautifully rendered story, full of heart and feeling."--Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart A CALIBA GOLDEN POPPY AWARD FINALIST A divine favor can change everything. 1942. War rumbles across the world, gods stir in the wind, and two star-crossed souls are set on a path that will change them forever. Seventeen-year-old Ren Hamada is defined by his troubled past, while Violet Aratani only worries about keeping her straight-A grades. They have little in common beyond the old magic that thrums in their family relics--until the US government forces them out of their homes simply because they're Japanese American. In a barbed-wire world where everything seems upside down, the magnetic pull between them is the only thing that makes sense. But there's more than just desert dust swirling in the air. A god walks among them, his mortal form tethered to the camp, and only Violet and Ren can free him--an act that would earn them an immeasurable reward. Yet with tensions rising and their lives on the line, is even a divine favor enough to save them?Author Biography
