Urban Fantasy, Dark Academia
With the Infinity Board hanging by a thread, Leah finds herself trapped in the role of war hero-kept from the front lines, training Squares, and poised at the edge of an uprising within the voodoo city of Sekrè Fami. She must navigate dangerous political waters while preparing for the fight of her life. But when an ancient library demands payment for secrets stolen long ago, she discovers dark truths about her past that she never imagined.
As Legion's power grows and alliances crumble, Leah realizes too late that some victories demand the ultimate sacrifice. In a war where nothing is as it seems, even triumph could spell destruction.
As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.
Please let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
