Blanca Rosa Gonz?lez was thirteen years old when she was raped the first time. Her father had sent her to live with Abuela C?ndida 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.
