The searing debut novel about a young woman's destructive relationship with a legendary writer for readers of My Dark Vanessa and Green Dot

I made up my mind to meet you. Your book had cast a spell over me the previous night. What better way to stay spellbound than to orbit the magician?

When a reporter's call disrupts Tatum Vega's life with her partner in sun-drenched Chile, she is suddenly pulled back into the years she spent in New York, captivated by the famous writer M. Domínguez.

As long-buried questions resurface, Tatum must reckon with the all-consuming relationship that dominated her early adulthood and prise the story of her life from the hands of her once-hero.
