The Land And The Blood

In the arid vastness of the northeastern hinterland, a farm carries the weight of forgotten pacts and ancient sacrifices. There, between the murmur of the wind and the silence of the earth, young Clara discovers an unbreakable link with the soil that both sustains and consumes her family. Guided by ancestral visions and voices, Clara delves into the secrets of a past that is rooted in the present, digging up rituals that have marked generations and revealing the final price of promises made and never fulfilled. Divided into three parts - The Earth in Silence, The Blood of the Earth, and The Last Breath of the Earth - this novel leads the reader through a narrative in which Latin American magical realism flourishes in a mystical hinterland, where the boundaries between the living and the dead become as permeable as the soil that demands its price in blood. When the well of the farm turns into a portal, the spirits of the ancient residents begin to emerge, bringing with them a curse that threatens to destroy everything and everyone. In the midst of the imminent collapse, Clara, now more than a simple mortal, offers herself as the final sacrifice, becoming the guardian of the land she loved and feared so much. In this work, Raul G. M. Silva creates a visceral and touching story about redemption and tragedy, where the past never remains buried and the earth keeps its dark secrets in silence.
