Shadowshaper

As her summer vacation from Octavia Butler High School begins, Sierra Santiago starts painting a mural on an unfinished building known as The Tower — a project commissioned by local men to express their frustration with the neighborhood's changing character.

While working, she notices that nearby murals begin to move and react to her presence, and her grandfather Lázaro Corona—a man who has not spoken since a stroke—suddenly urges her to finish the mural as fast as possible while warning of an encroaching threat.

As Sierra learns about shadowshapers, artists with the power to infuse their work with ancestral spirits, she must confront forces seeking to steal that magic and protect what remains of it in Brooklyn.
