Bookroo's summary

Zane Obispo faces a dire choice: save fellow godborns from wrathful gods or rescue his father, Hurakan, from execution. Struggling with uncontrollable fire powers and a hellhound companion, Zane's island life is far from idyllic. His writings have endangered other godborns, and time is running out. Can Zane outsmart the gods, save his father, and protect his friends, or will he be trapped in the underworld forever? With new allies and dark secrets, Zane's journey is fraught with peril and transformation.

From the publisher

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents J.C. Cervantes’fiery and fast-paced sequel to The Storm Runner.Zane Obispo has an impossible choice to make: save other godborns like him from the angry gods, or rescue his father Hurakan from his eternal prison.Zane Obispo’s new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can’t control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there’s a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn’t know what to do with his feelings for Brooks. One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld?In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.
