Vampires of El Norte

In a time and place where cultural tensions already run high, the author of "The Hacienda" takes us on a supernatural journey through the 1840s Mexican frontier, a land where vaqueros ride under the scorching sun and darkness hides more than just the night. Young Nena's life is punctuated by the many complexities of ranch living, the constant threat from Anglo settlers, and an otherworldly danger that casts a shadow over her family's ranch. This danger, a creature of the night with a bloodthirsty appetite, once attacked Nena, leaving scars both physical and emotional that she struggles with every day. Néstor, who once shared a deep bond with Nena, believed her to be lost to the creature. Overwhelmed by his grief and haunted by the horrors of that night, he has been wandering aimlessly. He drinks to numb the pain, seeks solace in the arms of others, yet remains perpetually haunted by the memory of his lost love. The clash between the United States and Mexico thrusts Nena and Néstor back into each other's lives. While Nena endeavors to carve a niche for herself as a curandera, proving her worth and evading an unwanted marriage, Néstor is drawn into the fray as part of the cavalry. Their surprising reunion is laden with past wounds and misunderstandings, but a greater threat looms. A monstrous evil, the very one from their past, is on the rise again. This supernatural western is not just a tale of vampires and vaqueros; it's a testament to the human spirit, the complexities of love, and the inevitable face-off between our past demons and present desires. The question remains: can Nena and Néstor confront their shared past and work together to defeat the darkness that threatens them? Only time—and the breaking dawn—will tell.
