An elite female fighter must reenter the competition to protect her
found family of younger sisters in this scintillating young adult
fantasy inspired by West African culture, perfect for fans of The
Gilded Ones and Creed. Eat. Dance. Fight. This is the life of the
girls who compete in the Isle's elite, all-female fighting sport of
Bowing. But it isn't really Dirt's life anymore. At sixteen, she is
old and has retired from competition. Instead, she spends her days
coaching the younger sisters of the Mud Fam and dreading her
fast-approaching birthday, when she'll have to leave her sisters to
fulfill whatever destiny the Gods choose for her. Dirt's young
sisters are coming along nicely, and the Mud Fam is sure to win the
upcoming South God Bow tournament, which is crucial: the tiny Fam
needs the new recruits that come with victory. Then an attack from
a powerful rival leaves the Mud without their top Bower, and Dirt
is the only one who can compete in the tournament. But Dirt is old,
out of shape, and afraid. She has never wanted to be a leader.
Victory seems impossible--yet defeat would mean the end of her
beloved Fam. And no way is Dirt going to let that happen.
