"Juju assassins, alternate history, a gritty New York crime
story...in a word: awesome." -N.K. Jemisin, New York Times
bestselling author of The Fifth Season The dangerous magic of The
Night Circus meets the powerful historical exploration of The
Underground Railroad in Alaya Dawn Johnson's timely and unsettling
novel, set against the darkly glamorous backdrop of New York City,
where an assassin falls in love and tries to change her fate at the
dawn of World War II. Amid the whir of city life, a young woman
from Harlem is drawn into the glittering underworld of Manhattan,
where she's hired to use her knives to strike fear among its most
dangerous denizens. Ten years later, Phyllis LeBlanc has given up
everything-not just her own past, and Dev, the man she loved, but
even her own dreams. Still, the ghosts from her past are always by
her side-and history has appeared on her doorstep to threaten the
people she keeps in her heart. And so Phyllis will have to make a
harrowing choice, before it's too late-is there ever enough blood
in the world to wash clean generations of injustice? Trouble the
Saints is a dazzling, daring novel-a magical love story, a
compelling exposure of racial fault lines-and an altogether
brilliant and deeply American saga.
