Shadowshaper
by Daniel José Older
"Brooklyn's murals are weeping — and Sierra's family magic is the reason."
When the mural on her block starts to fade and cry, Sierra Santiago discovers her family are shadowshapers: artists who bind ancestral spirits into paintings, music and story. Someone is hunting them, and the trail runs through her own grandfather's silence. Urban fantasy with Afro-Caribbean roots and gentrification in its crosshairs.
