In a world shaped by transformation, identity is never fixed, and neither is the truth.
Lip is a hyper-aware, one-legged little person with a knack for deception. Caliandra is a quiet seventeen-year-old girl with an unforgiving smart mouth. Lip's simple life on a ranch in the middle of the Brazilian Cerrado (savanna ecosystem) in the early 1970s couldn't be more different from Caliandra's life in the bustling São Paulo of 2013. Yet, their stories are intertwined through their contact with a mysterious, contorted plant that holds the key to that which is true.
When threatened by a skinwalker known as Aname'yma, Lip has to use all of his wit to keep the plant alive.
Caliandra struggles to free herself from the plant's influence in a time of social unrest, when a gruesome murder in the heart of São Paulo resembles the attack of a large predator.
Curse of Aname'yma is a layered, thought-provoking work of speculative fantasy that weaves together multiple timelines, moral ambiguity, and social undercurrents. This is not a story of simple heroes and villains, but of transformation, consequence, and the fragile boundaries of identity.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Nonlinear, puzzle-like narratives
- Shapeshifter lore with depth and consequence
- Character-driven stories that explore complex social themes
- Fantasy that challenges more than it comforts
If you're drawn to stories that linger, stories that ask you to piece them together long after the final page, Curse of Aname'yma is waiting.
