  The Fallen

  A powerful, unsettling portrait of family life in Cuba, Carlos Manuel Álvarez’s first novel is a masterful portrayal of a society in free fall. Diego, the son, is disillusioned and bitter about the limited freedoms his country offers him as he endures compulsory military service. Mariana, the mother, is unwell, prone to mysterious seizures, and forced to relinquish control over the household to her daughter, Maria, who has left school and is working as a chambermaid in a state-owned tourist hotel. The father, Armando, is a committed revolutionary, a die-hard Fidelista who is sickened by the corruption he perceives all around him. As each member of the family narrates seemingly quotidian and overlapping events, they grow increasingly at odds for reasons that remain elusive to them—each of them holding and concealing their own secrets.In meticulously charting the disintegration of a single family, The Fallen offers a poignant reflection on contemporary Cuba and the clash of the ardent idealism of the old guard with the jaded pragmatism of the young. This is a startling and incisive debut by a radiant new voice in Latin American literature.

  Everly emerged from the shadows of disgrace and rejection, not just surviving but thriving. She’s forged an empire from the scorned and the forgotten. Everly, cast aside by her own pack, faced a path that should have led to her ruin. Yet, in the face of betrayal and adversity, she didn't break; instead, she forged herself into something powerful. 
  But the past isn’t easily forgotten. 
  Alpha Valen, a man haunted by regret, reappears, seeking redemption. He finds a woman unbroken, unclaimed, and unparalleled. Valen is fighting for love and acceptance in Everly’s world, where strength is born from betrayal, and power rises from the ashes of heartbreak. 
  Everly’s battle is two-fold - a public fight for the dignity of the rogues and a private war against the magnetic pull of a mate bond she neither wants nor trusts. Valen thought he could claim her, but he’s met with a reality where the woman before him wasn’t to be claimed but respected, a force not to be contained but reckoned with.
