There's nothing wrong with Aurora. A successful art lawyer, she has returned to Mexico to celebrate a recent campaign for the repatriation of stolen artifacts-in particular a mysterious statue of an Aztec god, The Flayed One. But Mexico City isn't as she remembered. Nothing is. Elements of her past hint at darkness and power, and reality begins to crack and warp the streets. There's nothing wrong with Aurora. As Aurora's sanity unravels, she must pry apart her family's secrets and accept the simplest of truths: The Flayed One cannot stay buried. "It wields all the destructive fury of a flayed god determined to avenge centuries' worth of colonial devastation and greed.."-Cynthia G�mez, Ignyte-nominated author of Mu�eca
