But this year, Zoraida is back with something quite different! The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, which came out just last week, is an adult fantasy novel that takes a very Gothic approach to exploring family and identity.įrom her magic-infused home in the rural valley of Four Rivers, a grand matriarch named Orquídea Divinia Montoya sends out invitations to her own funeral, telling them “Come and collect your inheritance.” As the ragtag band of Montoya descendants reluctantly return to their ancestral home, they have no idea what to expect. I know and love Zoraida Córdova for her contributions to the YA urban fantasy genre, including the books in her Brooklyn Brujas series and her more recent anthology of YA vampire tales.
