Shadow Bruja Duology[]
Lords of Night[]
Zyanya is freed from her prison by Ren Santiago. After escaping the market, she reveals herself and flies around but, as Edison is about to scan her magic, he falls asleep. Zyanya calls him rude and, after introducing herself, she tells Ren to wake Edison by placing the blade on his left and right eyes in that order. After Edison wakes up, he says Zyanya has an ancient magic and Zyanya is pleased with her response. Zyanya explains that she is the source of the blade's power and can put anyone to sleep instantly, but they must be awakened five minutes later to they will sleep for the rest of their lives and she needs a ten minute recharge after every use. The teens are uncertain about the recharge period as they worry what the enemy can do in that time and theorize they could put a lord to sleep a day.
Monty tracks the Cinco to Lake Zirahuén in Southern Mexico and they search for their hideout. As they walk, Zyanya comments on Ren's shadow magic and senses something within it. They eventually find a stone building surrounded by the gate. Ren says they should split up with Edison and Monty taking out any guards as Ah-Puch acts as lookout. Just then, Marco arrives with his father and the war god says there are demons on the property along with bees, enemy godborns, and the Lords. Marco agrees to take out the demons as Ren creates shadow butterflies to handle the bees. Shortly after, as Ren encounters Chalchihtlicue, she emerges from the blade before vanishing with the water goddess.
