About

For her entire life, Fátima has harbored a secret she dares not whisper aloud. Since she was six years old, whenever the world cracked at the seams, Buer was there. He appeared from the thin air of Santísima Trinidad to comfort her, heal her, and shield her from the terrifying things lurking within the shadows. To Fátima, he was a guardian angel, a godfather, a lifelong companion. To the rest of the world, he was either an imaginary friend or a sin waiting to be purged by her deeply religious family. But entities bound by cosmic duty are not meant to feel human affection. As Fátima grows, the lines between Buer's ancient obligations and a dangerously mortal attachment begin to blur. When an elusive, deeply mundane yearning takes root in her heart—a forgotten adobe house hidden deep within the freezing woods—the fragile balance of her life begins to unravel. Fátima doesn't just want a place to hide from the dark. She wants a home. But maybe Buer is right, living a life like hers means walking a path full of thorns—yes—but every life is a trial.
