Nothing Gold: A Sapphic Urban Fantasy

In the city of Colores, art is magic and magic is power. As long as it’s the right kind of magic, anyway. Mira spent most of her life being great at the exact wrong kind of magic, and running with the Quetzals, a gang of street artists that prefer spray paint to paint brushes as weapons in their turf war against rival gang the Panthers, gives her all the power she needs. Cece, on the other hand, spent her days being trained for the right art, the right magic, the right life, only to have it all ripped away from her as soon as her parents found out she likes girls. The leader of the Panthers takes her in, just as a series of murders begin to escalate tensions between the two gangs. Soon, Mira and Cece are forced to work together in a desperate bid to keep the city from going off like a powder keg– and hope their own spark won’t get in the way.
