Paranormal Historical
Vampires and vaqueros face off on the Texas-Mexico border
in this supernatural western from the author of The
Hacienda.
As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s
Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters—her
home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo
settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks
near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their
blood and leaves them for dead.
Something that
once attacked Nena nine years ago.
Believing Nena
dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever
since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But
no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp
teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his
mind.
When the United States invades Mexico in
1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to
war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her
worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a
stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary
cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their
reunion—and Nena’s rage at Néstor for
seemingly abandoning her long ago—is quickly
overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh.
And unless Nena and Néstor work through their
past and face the future together, neither will survive to
see the dawn.
