Synopsis

Cursed by the high god Teotl in ancient times, she was destined to wander the rivers and gorges of Mesoamerica as a malicious spirit - La Ziguanaba. She will do anything to get her life back. In San Francisco's festive Mission District, Chepe Gallo has found the perfect way to extort money from club-goers and bar-hoppers. It is a demonic scheme that may cost more than he is willing to pay. Chris Gerardi has left behind a broken heart, a family that no longer needs him, and a life controlled by his job as a detective in the NYPD. Now he's found the girl of his dreams, a new family, new friends, and his future is unfolding exactly how he wants it to... until a rash of unexplained mutilations in the Mission District threatens to tear his new life to shreds. With time running out, and La Ziguanaba's power growing stronger, there is only one person who can interfere with her malevolent plan. Janie Lobo, a young single mother with hopes for a better future, must trust the truth and release her inhibitions in order to protect everyone she loves. She must not fail!

À propos de l'auteur

Nancy Brooks is a First-Generation American with many cultural backgrounds, including ancestors from El Salvador, Lebanon, Canada, England and Ireland - countries rich in folklore and legendary creatures. As a child, her imagination soared as Salvadorean relatives retold stories of elves, witches, demons and curses. After years of research and comparison, she’s found striking similarities in the legends and folktales of many diverse cultures, and is dedicated to planting seeds of probability in her readers' minds: Are these merely stories to entertain, or were they based on actual accounts and events?
