When the death of her aunt brings Liz Remolina back to San Ojuela,
the prospect fills her with dread. The isolated desert town was the site
of a harrowing childhood accident that left her clairvoyant, the
companion of wraiths and ghosts. Yet it may also hold the secret to
making peace with a dark family history and a complicated personal and
cultural identity.
Setting out on the train with her younger sister Mary in tow, she
soon finds herself hemmed in by a desolate landscape where monsters and
ancient gods stalk the night. She’s relieved at first to find that her
childhood best friend Julian still lives in San Ojuela, but soon
realizes that he too is changed. Haunted.
Yet she’ll have no other choice than to seek out his help as the darkness closes in.
