Welcome to The Sunbearer Trials where ten semidioses compete in a series of challenges with
the highest of stakes in this breathtaking Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas the
author of the bestselling Cemetery Boys. Only the most powerful and honorable will be chosen.
Teo the seventeen-year-old trans son of the goddess of birds isn't worried. As a Jade it's
unlikely he'll be chosen to compete in the Trials and even if his best friend Niya competes
she's a born-and-bred Gold semidiós with unparalleled abilities. But for the first time in
over a century two Jade competitors are chosen: Teo - and Xio the thirteen-year-old child of
the god of bad luck. With the odds stacked against them Teo is determined to get himself and
his friends through the trials unscathed - for fame glory and their own survival . . .
