“Five of us sat in a circle doing our best to emulate the girls inThe Craft, hoping to unleash some power to take us all away from ourhome to the place of our dreams. But we weren’t witches. We were fiveChicanas living in San Antonio, Texas, one year out of high school.”Onehot summer night, best friends Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, andPauline hold a séance. It’s all fun and games at first, but their tipsylaughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through theirprayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends andchanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors.Overthe next few weeks, shy, modest Fernanda starts actingstrangely—smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rosethorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest isconvinced it's a demon, but Lourdes begins to suspect it’s somethingelse—something far more ancient and powerful.As Father Moreno'sobsession with Fernanda grows, Lourdes enlists the help of her “brujaCraft crew” and a professor, Dr. Camacho, to understand what ishappening to her friend in this unholy tale of possession-gone-right.
