  1. 1. Itzá

    A lyrical, surreal novella about a young queer Latina and her sisters in the desert, who inherit water-born magic from their grandmother and learn to protect one another in the wake of sexual violence and generational trauma. Through fragmentary vignettes that blend myth, memory, and brujería, it traces their struggle against predatory men and colonial ghosts while reclaiming body, voice, and power. The result is a fierce meditation on sisterhood, healing, and survival in a harsh landscape.
