When They Burned The Butterfly by Wen-yi Lee
Singapore, 1972: in the city’s shadowy alleys, ancestral gods and unsanctioned magic persist through street gangs. Adeline Siow, a solitary schoolgirl who can summon flame, investigates her mother’s death and is drawn into the Red Butterfly, a gang of girls bound to a fire goddess. As rival gangs and strange new magic unsettle the streets, Adeline must navigate dangerous loyalties and a violent struggle for power.
