When Queen Amalthea and the Soleya Mermaids rise to the desert surface one December night, they're greeted by a sea of glowing lights-luminarias-lining the streets, rooftops, and mountainsides of El Paso. But something's not quite right... some of the luminarias won't stay lit.
Curious and concerned, the mermaids follow the flickering trail to a neighborhood where a young boy named Mateo is trying to light his grandmother's luminarias for the first time-without her, for the first time. Through shimmer, song, and stories, the mermaids help Mateo discover that luminarias are more than paper and flame-they're memories, prayers, and love that never leaves.
Together, they relight the path of hope across the city-and maybe even the stars.✨The Path of Light
