I can show you what I’m really capable of... Nineteen-year-old Curanda always felt like an outsider. Ever since she discovered her power of bringing plants back to life, Curanda knew she was not like most people. That is until she left for college... Along the way, Curanda finds The Community. However, even in this safe haven for people with magical powers, Curanda feels like an outsider having not discovered her true power. While Curanda’s away on an impromptu trip to Mexico, reports of missing students start to spread at UCLA, leaving everyone in The Community on edge. When Curanda returns she delivers an ominous message: A war will happen on the day of the solar eclipse, a time when The Dark Shadows, evil beings from the underworld, will raise hell upon earth. Will Curanda and The Community be able to stop them before it’s too late? In Pentalpha, Cervantes weaves a tale of magic, love, and community that allows readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
