A family, living in relative peace, find their peace interrupted by the loss of the father. Two years later, in the suburbs of a small town in Texas, plagued by a gang problem, Carmen Rodriguez tries to keep her head up and her nose clean as her graduation looms closer. Sadly, her sense of justice doesn't let her sit idly by while someone's being hurt so one of those things is harder to do than the other.
While she, and her brother, deal with fights along with all the other drama that is synonymous with High School, plans are being made and acted on as her mother is kidnapped the day they were supposed to move out, the day of her graduation, and the day she died for the first time.
Returning as an 'Apelido', a warrior granted power by a connection to a deity or an aspect of said deity, Carmen 'La Catrina' Rodriguez is out for blood.
Uriel Galvan was born in Elgin, Illinois, before moving to Eagle Pass, Texas, when he was in middle school, staying there until he moved to San Antonio and is currently attending The University of Texas at San Antonio. He is, in simple words, a very simple man going through life with simple aspirations like getting rich and...well that's it. Aside from such lofty aspirations, he enjoys writing when he has the time and regularly does so, specifically with subjects like cultures or mythological figures with a specific interest in contemporary fantasy.
