This Wicked Fate

fullDescription

An instant New York Times bestseller!

Would you tempt even the most dangerous fate to save the ones you love?
Briseis has one chance to save her mother, but she'll need to do the impossible: find the last fragment of the deadly Absyrtus Heart. To locate the missing piece, she must turn to the blood relatives she's never known, learn about their secret powers, and take her place in their ancient lineage.
But Briseis is not the only one who wants the Heart, and her enemies will stop at nothing to fulfill their own ruthless plans. The fates tell of a truly dangerous journey, one that could end in more heartache, more death. Strengthened by the sisterhood of ancient magic, can Briseis harness her power to save the people she loves most?
Bestselling author Kalynn Bayron continues the story of Briseis and her family's unique magic in the sequel to This Poison Heart.

     Briseis goes on an even riskier journey with more menacing enemies in the sequel to This Poison Heart (2021). Sixteen-year-old Briseis Greene's story continues as she is tasked with reuniting all the pieces of the Absyrtus Heart in order to save Thandie, one of her adoptive moms, who is being held by Hecate in the underworld. Bri finds out that Circe (the biological aunt whose existence she only recently learned of following her supposed death) is actually alive and has been searching for the pieces of the Heart as well. This revelation marks just the beginning of the discoveries and twists that Bri has to deal with: The history of her biological family and their connections to mythological gods go deeper than she realized, and the adversaries she has to face are even more dangerous than everything she's experienced thus far. But saving her mom is paramount, and Bri is willing to do anything and face anyone in order to do so. Readers who were hooked after reading the previous book with its cliffhanger ending will be pleased to follow more of Bri's story. Bayron highlights themes of sisterhood, familial bonds, and intergenerational trauma in this novel centering Black characters. Bri's story showcases how love can help give one the strength and courage needed to confront fears and weather uncomfortable truths. This duology closer delves deeper into mythology while depicting textured, realistic relationships. (Fantasy. 13-18)

      Grades 8-12 In Bayron's lushly written sequel to This Poison Heart (2021), Briseis finds herself on a mission to track down a mythical plant--which has been both a legacy and a burden for generations of her biological family, the Colchis clan--to save her mother from the underworld. She has just one moon cycle to find it. Thankfully, her aunt Circe and found-family Marie and Persephone have spent years searching already, so they're not far from success, but traitorous Karter and his family are also searching for the plant and just as close. Bayron cleverly slips feminist versions of Greek mythology into the novel, explaining the origin of the Colchises' gifts and responsibilities as well as the long-simmering conflict between the families. Her descriptions of the plants and environments are deliciously tactile, and the implicit questions about how cultural touchstones like myths skew history are thought provoking. Sharp banter, dynamic characters, and a warm sapphic romance give this even more verve. Teens who grew up on Rick Riordan's mythology-based fantasies will appreciate this earthy, perceptive novel, which satisfyingly wraps up the duology.

      Gr 8 Up-Briseis must find the last piece of the Absyrtus Heart if she wants to have any chance of saving her mother but finding the missing piece will mean facing gods and monsters. Bri's grief is compelling but not overwhelming as she and Marie embark on a globe-spanning quest. Bayron's writing strikes the perfect balance, moving away from The Secret Garden elements of This Poison Heart; the story has found its feet in Greek mythology. The quest and magical creature elements give this story sapphic "Percy Jackson" vibes, while lush writing and attention to detail make the story shine. Main characters are Black. VERDICT Bayron's duology lives up to its potential and is recommended for general purchase.
