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?

About the Author

Autumn Krause was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her grandfather, his three siblings, and her great-grandmother were interned at Gila River Camp in Arizona during WWII, while her great-grandfather fought in the 442nd, the only all-Japanese regimental combat team. She writes: “The internment was knit into my life, a deep injustice never talked about with any theatrics, but always present, a memory living beyond the confines of its dates to form the backdrop of mine.” Autumn lives in Orange County, California, with her husband and children. She is a critically acclaimed author of Before the Devil Knows You're Here, an Amazon and Kirkus Best Book of the Year.
