An elite female fighter must reenter the competition to protect her
found family of younger sisters in this "absorbing, striking"
(Publishers Weekly, starred review) 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.
