A note for parents
This YA dystopian sequel explores themes of resistance, sacrifice, and moral complexity in a war setting. The book contains significant violence tied to rebellion and conflict, mature emotional stakes around love and loyalty, and dark thematic content, making it most appropriate for older teens. LGBTQ+ romance is central to the plot rather than peripheral, and the story rewards empathy and questioning authority, though the protagonist wrestles with becoming 'ruthless.'

In this nail-biting sequel to Tehlor Kay Mejia's critically acclaimed fantasy novel We Set the Dark on Fire, La Voz operative Carmen is forced to choose between the girl she loves and the success of the rebellion she's devoted her life to. Perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale and Anna-Marie McLemore. Being a part of the resistance group La Voz is an act of devotion and desperation. On the other side of Medio's border wall, the oppressed class fights for freedom and liberty, sacrificing what little they have to become defenders of the cause. Carmen Santos is one of La Voz's best soldiers. She spent years undercover, but now, with her identity exposed and the island on the brink of a civil war, Carmen returns to the only real home she's ever known: La Voz's headquarters. There she must reckon with her beloved leader, who is under the influence of an aggressive new recruit, and with the devastating news that her true love might be the target of an assassination plot. Will Carmen break with her community and save the girl who stole her heart—or fully embrace the ruthless rebel she was always meant to be?
