The Shadow of the Cartel

 Blood calls for blood under the scorching Mexican sun. For betraying Don Alejandro, the all-powerful cartel leader, a simple transporter signs the death warrant of his entire lineage. In one night of horror, the lagoon becomes a family’s tomb, fed to the crocodiles to wash away the insult. Only Gloria, the eldest daughter, escapes the massacre. She is no longer just a young woman; she becomes the very shadow of vengeance.

With icy determination, she works her way up the ranks, eliminating her family’s executioners one by one. Her weapon? A formidable maternal inheritance: a powerful anesthetic elixir once intended for animals, now capable of paralyzing her enemies without a trace… or killing them in high doses. Her quest leads her to the seemingly impenetrable hacienda of Don Alejandro himself.

Divine Justice

It is there, ultimately at the heart of the serpent’s den, that she encounters the monster’s son. He too bears the scars of paternal cruelty, haunted by the execution of his own brother. Between the predator hungry for justice and the traumatized heir, a forbidden passion is born, a love forged in ashes and hatred. Together, they will weave an erotic and deadly stratagem to bring down the tyrant.

Amidst thrilling criminal intrigues and bouts of savage intensity, this tale explores the murky boundaries between forgiveness and divine justice. Gloria will finally discover that to destroy a monster, one must sometimes surrender to the arms of a devil… and that the most effective venom remains, nonetheless, that of desire.
