Description
They run in different circles of friends and barely talk anymore. Leila’s a homebody who loves to craft and plans on marrying her high school sweetheart.
Bianca’s more antiestablishment and plans to get out of Dodge as soon as humanly possible.
But on their eighteenth birthday, the neighbor’s barn mysteriously burns down.
When Leila encounters a monster—a djinn—arising from the fire, suddenly she gains strange powers—and can no longer touch iron.
What do these djinn want with Leila—or other people in town, for that matter?
Can the twins learn to rely on each other—and their cultures—to banish them?
It’ll take a sisterly reconciliation for the girls to find out and to save their hometown in this New Visions Award–winning fantasy adventure.
“A gripping page-turner that perfectly blends sisterhood, magic, and self-discovery, Twin Flames is simply enchanting.”—Crystal Maldonado, author of The Fall of Whit Rivera
