The Wicked Bargain is an immersive, vibrant adventure with swashbuckling, secrets, and deals with a devil. Mar’s mission will involve revenge, redemption, and eventually revolution. The basic plot goes as we have young Mar, whose dad essentially made a deal with the devil, and that devil comes to collect-throwing Mar off into the sea and off on a quest to try and save him. We have a pirate adventure with characters who don’t pretend to be things they are not and are true to who they are. LGBTQIA+ representation by an author who identifies this way makes for a compelling fantasy story centered around Latinx pirate history. *Review Contributed by Jan Farnworth, Staff Reviewer* It could be their only redemption–or it could mean certain death. For the first time in their life, Mar may have the courage to use their magic. Then Mar finds the most unlikely allies: Bas, an infuriatingly arrogant and handsome pirate–and the captain’s son and Dami, a gender-fluid demonio whose motives are never quite clear. The task is impossible–Mar refuses to make a bargain, and there’s no way their magic is a match for el Diablo.
When Mar is miraculously rescued by the sole remaining pirate crew in the Caribbean, el Diablo returns to give them a choice: give up their soul to save their father by the harvest moon, or never see him again. But their magic isn’t enough to reverse a wicked bargain made by their father, and now el Diablo has come to collect his payment: the soul of Mar’s father and the entire crew of their ship. On Mar León de la Rosa’s sixteenth birthday, el Diablo comes calling.
