Caciques by E.G. Condé [with preorder bonuses!]

Releases 2027. More details on preorder bonuses to come!

In the near-future, Borikén (Puerto Rico) flourishes under the stewardship of Caciques—young Taíno leaders who have built a community beyond the colonizing reach of the United Nations Parliament. But peace proves difficult for people who have devoted so much of themselves to surviving war. As Agüeybaná, Yuíza, Anacaona, and their community struggle to build lives beyond resistance, old conflicts resurface in unexpected forms. Betrayal from within and an invading force threaten everything they have built, forcing the Caciques to reckon with the unfinished consequences of their past and decide what it means to protect a community meant for more than survival.
