A professor who rebuilds history accidentally tears open time. A girl born in a space-station slum dreams a memory that was never hers. A scientist descends into a volcanic cavern and meets a child of sulfur and star. A houndborn dancer summons lightning on cobblestones. A teacher discovers a message from the vanished billions. A boy battles with living fish under monsoon skies. A bride enters a house where the dead still breathe. A farmer climbs a cursed mountain to find his childhood friend transformed. And five old friends gamble over the truth of their origins.

In Spades for My Winged Daughters, Javier Pérez Rizo gathers eleven tales of science fiction, fantasy, and myth, each one a doorway into a world where the extraordinary presses against the ordinary until something wondrous emerges.

Across these stories, you'll find fable giants carrying windmills on their backs and giant mecha robots standing against tyrannical futures.

Blending cuban quirkiness, speculative imagination, folkloric echoes, and emotional depth, this collection explores the fragile borders between myth and science, childhood and ruin, love and monstrosity.
