Cazadora: A Novel

by Romina Garber

Overview

In Cazadora, Romina Garber weaves together Argentine folklore and what it means to be illegal in a timely, intimate, and emotionally powerful narrative.

Werewolves. Witches. Romance. Resistance.

Enter a world straight out of Argentine folklore...

Following the events of Lobizona, Manu and her friends cross the mystical border into Kerana—a cursed realm in Argentina—searching for allies and a hiding place. As they chase down leads about the Coven—a mythical resistance manada that might not even exist—the Cazadores chase down leads about Manu, setting up traps to capture and arrest her.

Just as it seems the Cazadores have Manu and her friends cornered, the Coven answers their call for help. As Manu catches her breath among these non-conforming Septimus, she discovers they need a revolution as much as she does.

But is she the right one to lead them? After all, hybrids aren’t just outlawed. They’re feared and reviled. What happens when the Coven learns of Manu’s dual heritage? Will they still protect her? Or will they betray her?

And after running this far, for this long—how much farther can Manu go before her feet get tired, and she stops to take a stand?

Editorial Reviews

"In this effervescent sequel full of magic and beautiful imagery, Manu learns to reclaim her own narrative and, together with her lovable found family... stake out a place in the world where she belongs...An inspiring, powerful tale of belonging." —KIRKUS, starred review

"Sure to fire up readers and make them feel ready to rebel against the cages society places around us. This is a triumph." —BOOKLIST, starred review

"These gripping and magical books combine Argentine folklore with themes of identity and the morality of deciding who is and isn’t illegal.” —BUZZFEED

“When I reviewed Lobizona in 2020 I said that Romina Garber was poised to become a strong literary voice of this era. After reading Cazadora, I’m even more confident in my belief of that. Garber’s ability to unflinchingly address modern day topics and weave them into fantastical tales is unparalleled. I look forward to not only more from the Wolves of No World series, but anything Garber puts to page.” —THE NERD DAILY

"Cazadora is one of the rare second-in-a-series books to not only live up to the first book but surpass it. It has all the heart and soul of Lobizona, but with fresh coats of anger and revolution layered on top." —TOR.COM

From the Publisher

★ 2021-06-01
The follow-up to Lobizona (2020) sees its protagonist’s fight for equality and acceptance reach new heights.

After the events of the first book, Manu and her friends flee their magical school and are on the run to avoid the Cazadores who aim to capture anyone who doesn’t conform to the stringent gender binary laws of their world. Manu, as the first ever known female werewolf and a Septimus/human hybrid to boot, could lose her life if she’s discovered. Illegal in both worlds, Manu’s only chance is to find the Coven, a legendary underground movement of outcasts who she hopes will welcome them with open arms. Once she meets the people of the Coven, Manu encounters a world full of Septimus who are willing to risk anything for change. But how far is Manu willing to go? In this effervescent sequel full of magic and beautiful imagery, Manu learns to reclaim her own narrative and, together with her lovable found family, including misfits Saysa and Cata as well as boyfriend Tiago, stake out a place in the world where she belongs. Refreshingly, Manu and her friends are not presented as uniquely positioned to change the world: They join a multigenerational, ongoing fight against oppression that aims to give voice to the nonconforming voiceless. All characters are Argentine, with a variety of skin tones, gender identities, and sexualities.

An inspiring, powerful tale of belonging. (Paranormal. 14-18)
