SEASONS OF BRUJA (2022)

Althalia Cabrera might seem like any other witchy Portland hipster whiling away her days behind the counter of a freaky occult museum, but there's more to her whole deal than a trendy pursuit of the craft. Althalia is a bruja by blood-the youngest in a long line of powerful magic users from a long-ago culture indigenous to Mexico. In her twenty years, Althalia has studied with her loving abuela by her side, supporting and mentoring her use of the family magic, and protecting her from the darkest parts of their practice's history. But just as Althalia's inner light and power begins to shine, the darkness of the past finds its way into her world and strikes a tragic blow, testing Althalia in ways she might not be prepared enough to survive.

After a disturbing confrontation with an aggressive priest, Althalia Cabrera's abuela Isadora has collapsed, and Althalia is arrested while trying to protect her. Now the young bruja-for the first time without Isadora's guidance-must attempt to summon both her innate strength and her years of training in the craft to try to save her family's beloved matriarch. But it may already be too late to take down the dark forces that seek to strip both of the Cabrera brujas of their power.

Althalia Cabrera has spent her entire life learning her family's magic, but she is not yet ready to wield it as her own. Ready or not, that's exactly what she has to do now that her beloved abuela has died after a bizarre encounter with a priest. Truly alone for the first time in her life, and devastated by grief, Althalia is tempted by darker forces to boost her powers in an attempt to pull Isadora back from the afterlife.

After the sudden loss of her beloved abuela Isadora, young bruja Althalia Cabrera is desperate—if she can act quickly enough, she may be able to pull Isadora back from a cruel eternity she doesn't deserve. Going against both everything she was taught and the warnings of her family, Althalia opens a forbidden door to the ancient past and enlists the help of the Aztec death deities Mictecacihuatl and Mictlantecuhtli. The connection supercharges Althalia's powers but threatens the balance she must maintain if she has any chance of saving Isadora without losing everything else she believes in.
