Description

En la República de Santander, la magia no cristiana está mal vista, si no totalmente vedada. Pero cuando Cristina Franco, aprendiz de chamán, es asesinada por lechuzas malévolas, su hermano Enrique no puede aceptar su muerte. Con alquimia e ingeniería prohibidas, Enrique la devuelve a la vida: parte humana, parte máquina. Aunque su propia existencia es una abominación para los ciudadanos de Santander, Cristina promete usar sus nuevas habilidades para proteger a su país.

Con la ayuda de un guapo cambiante llamado Mateo, Cristina y Enrique encuentran el aquelarre de las brujas y descubren un siniestro complot para poner a Santander bajo el gobierno del Parlamento de Lechuzas, cuya legendaria crueldad desmantelaría las libertades ganadas con tanto esfuerzo en esa nación. Al mismo tiempo, los indígenas y los inmigrantes están desapareciendo de Santander, incluyendo al amado de Enrique, Gaspar. ¿Podrían estar relacionados los ataques y las desapariciones? Mientras las lechuzas atacan más trenes y desaparecen más refugiados, el trío debe descubrir los orígenes de las lechuzas para hallar su debilidad.

Las enérgicas ilustraciones del ganador del Premio Pura Belpré Raúl the Thirds dan vida a las palabras del galardonado autor y poeta David Bowles. ¡No te pierdas este increíble primer volumen de la trilogía Curandera Mecánica!

In the Republic of Santander, non-Christian magic is frowned upon, if not outright prohibited. But when Cristina Franco, an apprentice shaman, is killed by witch owls, her brother Enrique cannot let her go. With forbidden alchemy and engineering, Enrique brings her back to life: part human, part machine. Though her very existence is an abomination to Santander’s citizens, Cristina vows to use her new abilities to protect her country from attack.

With help from a handsome skinwalker named Mateo, Cristina and Enrique track down the witch owl coven and uncover a sinister plot to bring Santander under the rule of the Witch Owl Parliament, whose legendary cruelty would dismantle the country’s hard-won freedoms. At the same time, Indigenous folks and immigrants are disappearing from Santander–including Enrique’s beloved, Gaspar. Could the attacks and the disappearances be related? As the witch owls attack more trains and more refugees go missing, the trio must uncover the witch owls’ origins to understand their weakness.

Energetic illustrations by Pura Belpré Award winner Raúl the Third bring to life the words of award-winning author and poet David Bowles. Don’t miss this amazing first volume of the Clockwork Curandera trilogy!
