| Abstract | "Death waits for Noche Villanueva. Noche's world is falling apart because the love of her life is dead. Noche is a Lechuza, an ethereal black owl responsible for carrying the souls of the dead to the afterlife -- but she now ignores that duty, choosing instead to visit Dante's spirit every night. The two of them speak for hours, two girls in love, tethered to infinite possibilities -- but death spares no one, not even the dead. With each passing day on earth, Dante's soul is at risk of disappearing forever, but Noche cannot let her go, not even when someone new makes her heart thrum like it did once before. Jax Vang is the new kid in town, another science nerd like Noche. They connect in a way she can't ignore. For the first time, Noche begins to imagine a life without Dante. Then she finds herself at risk of losing both Jax and Dante, and Noche is forced to question her purpose as a Lechuza and everything she has ever believed in. Achingly romantic, On the Wings of la Noche is a story about first and second loves, and of everlasting love that defies death itself" -- Jacket flap. |
