The Series Continues with The Fire Keeper by J.C. Cervantes & Prize Pack Giveaway #TheFireKeeper
Disclosure: Disney Book Group is partnering with me this review and giveaway. Regardless, all opinions are my own!
Last fall, I introduced you to a great read ideal for teenagers, The Storm Runner. Well, this year, I am excited to share that the series continues with the release of book 2 – The Fire Keeper, from J. C. Cervantes.
The fiery and fast-paced sequel to the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed The Storm Runner
About the Series
A contemporary adventure based on Maya mythology from Rick Riordan Presents! In Book 1, The Storm Runner, a lonely boy in New Mexico has a physical disability that makes middle school feel even more like everyone is watching him. But as he soon learns, his physical differences are merely the first clue to a family history that connects him to the Maya gods—and puts him in mortal danger.
The Fire Keeper turns the first book on its ear, reuniting familiar characters from the first book for a brand new quest featuring incredible twists and turns!
About The Fire Keeper
Zane Obispo’s new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can’t control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there’s a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn’t know what to do with his feelings for Brooks.
One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld?
In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.
