Acerca de este título
'This gorgeous historical fantasy combines a folkloric bent with a truly excellent heist' Holly Black, author of The Cruel Prince
A dazzling historical fantasy that weaves together African American folk magic, history and romance.
Clara Johnson can talk to spirits - a gift that saved her during her darkest moments, now a curse that's left her indebted to the cunning spirit world. So when a powerful spirit offers her an opportunity to gain her freedom, Clara seizes the chance. The task: steal a magical ring from the wealthiest woman in the District.
Clara can't pull off this daring heist alone. She'll need the help of an unlikely team: from a handsome jazz musician able to hypnotize with a melody, to an aging actor who can change his face.
But as conflict in the spirit world begins to leak into the human one - an insidious mystery is unfolding, one that could cost Clara her life.

Reseñas de la crítica
Rich and immersive. . . full of mesmerizing magic! (P. Djèlí Clark, author of A MASTER OF DJINN)
This gorgeous historical fantasy combines a folkloric bent with a truly excellent heist . . . This book has one of the cleverest magic systems I've come across, plus a delightful array of performers and outcasts (Holly Black)
An enchanting adventure that weaves a spell (Justina Ireland)
Stolen destinies, dubious bargains, and unlikely groups of allies, all in a city whose history deserves more fame; a fresh and engaging take on historical fantasy (Marie Brennan)
Masterfully crafted. This smart and entertaining magical heist novel hits all the right notes (T. L. Huchu)
Clara is a heroine for the ages, and her 1920s Black Washington society, both the glamour and the grit, is so compellingly evoked it's as though Penelope has given us a peek behind the veil to hear the tales of our ancestors (Alaya Dawn Johnson)
A high-stakes, delightful read (Buzzfeed)
Penelope's blend of fantasy and history is pitch perfect. . . Readers will be wowed (Publishers Weekly)
A great blending of realistic characters, spiritualism and magic, fantasy, mystery, a heist story and a strong element of romance. I love it when I encounter a book of a type I don't often read and get completely carried away with. And The Monsters We Defy is such a book that draws you into a brilliantly recreated historical world (SciFi Mind)
