New York Times-bestselling author Aiden Thomas returns to the beloved world of The Sunbearer Trials in Celestial Monsters, a heart-stopping duology finale, in which three young semidioses travel through a dark monster-infested world, facing down chaotic Obsidian gods, in a quest to save their friends and return the sun to the sky.
Teo never thought he could be a Hero. Now, he doesn’t have a choice.
The sun is gone, the Obsidian gods have been released from their prison, and chaos and destruction are wreaking havoc on Reino del Sol. All because Teo refused to sacrifice a fellow semidiós during the Sunbearer Trials.
With the world plunged into perpetual night, Teo, his crush Aurelio, and his best friend Niya must journey to the dark wilderness of Los Restos, battling vicious monsters while dealing with guilt, trauma, and a (very distracting) burgeoning romance between Teo and Aurelio. Determined to rescue the captured semidioses and retrieve the Sol Stone, the trio races against the clock to return Sol and their protective light so order can be restored.
Now the future of the whole world is in their hands.
Parce que sa famille latinx a du mal à accepter son genre, Yadriel veut leur prouver à tous qu'il possède les pouvoirs d'invocation des hommes et non pas celui de guérir, comme les femmes.
'Le visage de l'esprit était tordu par une grimace, ses doigts noués dans le tissu de son haut. Il portait un blouson en cuir noir avec un capuchon sur un t-shirt blanc, des jeans délavés et une paire de Converse.
« Ce n'est pas Miguel », essaya de chuchoter Maritza, mais elle n'avait jamais vraiment eu une voix faite pour ça. Yadriel gémit et se passa la main sur le visage. Du bon côté des choses, il avait invoqué un esprit pour de vrai. Du mauvais côté des choses, il n'avait pas invoqué le bon.'
Un premier roman qui laisse sans voix ; véritable mélange d'authenticité et d'émotions. Aiden Thomas signe ici un titre à lire absolument, qui aborde des sujets lourds tels que l'acceptation des personnes LGBTQIA+, le racisme, la colonisation...
UN VERITABLE PAGE-TURNER
Only the most powerful and honorable will be chosen in this breathtaking, Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the author of the New York Times-bestselling Cemetery Boys.
Teo, a seventeen-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of the goddess of birds, isn't worried about the Trials . . . at least, not for himself. His best friend, Niya is a Gold semidiós and a shoo-in for the Trials, and while he trusts her abilities, the odds of becoming the sacrifice is one-in-ten.
But then, for the first time in over a century, the impossible happens. Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors. Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. Worst of all, Teo's annoyingly handsome ex-best friend and famous semidiós Hero, Aurelio is favored to win. Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed - for fame, glory, and their own survival.

'The novel perfectly balances the vibrant, energetic Latinx culture while delving into heavy topics like LGBTQ+ acceptance, deportation, colonization, and racism within authoritative establishments.' —TeenVogue.com
'This stunning debut novel from Thomas is detailed, heart-rending, and immensely romantic. I was bawling by the end of it, but not from sadness: I just felt so incredibly happy that this queer Latinx adventure will get to be read by other kids. Cemetery Boys is necessary: for trans kids, for queer kids, for those in the Latinx community who need to see themselves on the page. Don’t miss this book.' —Mark Oshiro, author of Anger is a Gift
