La Rey es una joven paraguaya que debe sobrevivir en un mundo de violencia, drogas y prostitución, para lo que confÃa en su instinto y en las pocas personas que la protegen. Blanca Rosa González tenÃa trece años cuando la violaron por primera vez. Su padre la habÃa enviado a vivir con la abuela Cándida y su pareja, el Recio, en Ciudad del Este. De su adolescencia se llevó dos cosas: el abuso sistemático y una piedra de obsidiana que conservaba su abuela, una suerte de amuleto mágico que la transportaba a otros mundos. Una vez instalada en la Villa 31 de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Blanca empieza su transformación a través de la venta de droga, hasta convertirse en jefa de una banda de narcos paraguayos. Asà nace la Rey. Pero las cosas se complican y debe huir a España, donde caerá presa de una red de trata de personas y será obligada a ejercer la prostitución. Allà se verá implicada en una trama violenta que la va a relacionar con el Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid, en el que se conserva un valioso espejo de obsidiana que la ayudará a encontrar las claves de su pasado. En esta nueva novela, Reynaldo Sietecase profundiza su estilo único, que mezcla thriller, policial y actualidad, para ofrecernos una historia vibrante que comienza en Ciudad del Este, pasa por Buenos Aires y termina en Madrid, con un personaje tan potente que los lectores no podrán olvidar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Queen is a young Paraguayan who must survive in a world of violence, drugs, and prostitution, trusting her instincts and the very few people that protect her.
Blanca Rosa González was thirteen years old when she was raped the first time. Her father had sent her to live with Abuela Cándida and her partner, El Recio, in Ciudad del Este. From her teenage years she drew two things: systematic abuse and an obsidian stone her grandmother kept, a sort of magic charm that transported her to other worlds. Once installed in Villa 31, in the city of Buenos Aires, Blanca begins her transformation by selling drugs, until becoming the head of a Paraguayan drug band. Thus, The Queen is born. But when everything comes to the worst, she flees to Spain, where she falls prey to human trafficking and is forced to become a prostitute. There she will be implicated in a violent plot that ties her with the Natural Science Museum in Madrid, where a valuable obsidian mirror is kept, which will help her find the clues to her past. In this novel, Reynaldo Sietecase deepens his unique style, a mix of thriller, crime fiction, and current relevance, to offer a vibrant story that begins at Ciudad del Este, goes through Buenos Aires, and ends in Madrid, with a character so potent, readers won't forget.
