12 new August science fiction and fantasy releases to help wind down summer
By Lacy Baugher
August 2021 release: Cazadora – Romina Garber
In Cazadora, the follow-up to Lobizona, Romina Garber continues to weave Argentine folklore and real-world issues into a haunting, fantastical, and romantic story that will reunite readers with Manu and her friends as they continue to fight for a better future.
This sequel picks up right where Lobizona left off as Manu and her friend cross over the mystical border into Kerana, a cursed realm in Argentina. As they search for a mystical resistance group that may or may not actually exist, they’ll have to dodge the Cazadores (“huntresses”) that are determined to capture Manu.
The official synopsis describes the story as follows.
"Following the events of Lobizona, Manu and her friends cross the mystical border into Kerana—a cursed realm in Argentina—searching for allies and a hiding place. As they chase down leads about the Coven—a mythical resistance manada that might not even exist—the Cazadores chase down leads about Manu, settinghybrids aren’t just outlawed. They’re feared and reviled. What happens when the Coven learns of Manu’s dual heritage? Will they still protect her? Or will they betray her? And after running this far, for this long—how much farther can Manu go before her feet get tired, and she stops to take a stand?"
Cazadora is available on August 17.
