About this listen
El Diablo is in the details in this Latinx pirate fantasy starring a transmasculine nonbinary teen with a mission of revenge, redemption, and revolution. From the New York Times bestselling author of Most Ardently.
On Mar León de la Rosa's sixteenth birthday, el Diablo comes calling. Mar is a transmasculine nonbinary teen pirate hiding a magical ability to manipulate fire and ice. But their magic isn't enough to reverse a wicked bargain made by their father, and now el Diablo has come to collect his payment: the soul of Mar's father and the entire crew of their ship.
When Mar is miraculously rescued by the sole remaining pirate crew in the Caribbean, el Diablo returns to give them a choice: give up their soul to save their father by the harvest moon, or never see him again. The task is impossible—Mar refuses to make a bargain, and there's no way their magic is a match for el Diablo. Then Mar finds the most unlikely allies: Bas, an infuriatingly arrogant and handsome pirate—and the captain's son; and Dami, a gender-fluid demonio whose motives are never quite clear. For the first time in their life, Mar may have the courage to use their magic. It could be their only redemption—or it could mean certain death.

An absolute delight from start to finish!!!!
Excellently written and perfectly narrated. I was hooked after just one chapter and binged the whole thing in less than 48 hours. Loved all the gay pirate dads, the seductive antagonist and deeply deeply appreciated the queerness throughout. thank you! will definitely be listening again!

A wonderful queer latinx tall tale that had me spell-bound throughout. Will get the next ome for sure!
Flawed yet endearing and real feeling characters in a high stakes yet personal adventure with great representation in a time period I adore.
