Vial of tears / Cristin Bishara.

Bishara, Cristin, (author.).

Summary:

Samira and Rima live with their maddeningly unreliable mother in a rundown trailer in Michigan. Dad's dead, money's tight, and Mom disappears for days at a time. When Sam's grandfather wills her the family valuables-- a cache of Lebanese antiquities-- she's desperate enough to try pawning them before Mom can. She discovers that one is cursed, forbidden: the burial coin of a forgotten god. Disturbing it condemns them to the Phoenician underworld, a place of wicked cities, burning cedar forests, poisoned feasts of milk and lemons, and an endless, windless ocean. To get home, Sam will have to outwit beautiful shapeshifters, pose as a royal bride, sail the darkest sea-- and maybe kill the god of death himself. -- adapted from jacket
