Sarafina: Shadow of Trinbago (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069868237)

In the heart of Port of Spain, where music and color mask a city simmering with violence, one girl's fire is forged in blood.

At twelve, Sarafina James loses everything when her parents are killed in a Chinatown crossfire. Forced onto the streets, she survives by hustling, fighting, and refusing to bend to the drug lords who claim her island. But survival isn't enough. With the guidance of an exiled martial arts master and a ragtag crew of allies-a conman, a hacker, a DJ, and a wary businessman-Sarafina begins to channel her rage into something sharper: purpose.

Her enemy is Alejandro Vargas, a ruthless cartel boss who rules through fear and rumor. To the people, Sarafina becomes both savior and curse: the "fire-eyed girl" who might protect them-or burn them down.

As the war for Trinidad's soul ignites, Sarafina must decide whether her fire will consume her, or forge her into the shadow the city needs.

A gritty, Caribbean-set thriller, Sarafina: Shadow of Trinbago launches a powerful new vigilante saga.
