    It's time for Robin Wildwood to come face to face with her equals. 
    A summit of the other Head Witches might be the very opportunity Robin needs to find out why she was chosen for the role, but when a body shows up in the woods, it becomes clear that someone doesn't want their meeting to go ahead without a hitch. 
    Especially when the body turns out to belong to a witch from a rival coven, killed by an unknown magical beast. 
    A monster being loose in the Wildwood is the last thing Robin needs on her plate when she's surrounded by bickering Head Witches trying to undermine one another, but it isn't long before more than her town's reputation is on the line. Is the person who released the monster hiding among her guests, or does the truth lie within the long-buried tensions simmering under the surface of the town itself? 
    And just what will it take for the press to stop pestering her for an interview?

    Fifteen-year-old Ámbar has never known any parent other than her father, Víctor Mondragón, nor any life other than his. On any given Friday night, Ámbar longs to be at the arcade or a rock concert, but she’s more likely to be patching up Víctor’s latest bullet hole in a dingy motel or creating a new set of fake identities for the both of them. 
     
    When a tattooed mercenary kills Víctor’s best friend and vows that Víctor is next, father and daughter set off on a joyride across Argentina in search of bloody retribution. But Ámbar’s growing pains hurt worse than her beloved sawed-off shotgun’s kickback as she begins to question the structure of her world. How much is her father not telling her? Could her life ever be different? And will she survive long enough to find out? 
     
    It’s kill or be killed in this gritty, devastating coming-of-age thriller from the king of Argentine neo-noir.
