Liliana Bodoc reinvented epic fantasy, filling it with jungles, indigenous peoples, and Latin American memory

Los días de la sombra is the second installment of La Saga de los Confines.

The son of Death, Misáianes, was defeated after his first attempt to conquer the Fertile Lands, recounted in Los días del Venado. After a period of five years, Misáianes prepares for a new invasion, stronger and crueler than before, led this time by his own mother at the helm of the ships.

The Deer army is plagued by internal struggles, disputes, and betrayals, but it organizes itself to resist. It sends a fleet to the Ancient Lands, embarks on an exodus to the Magical Time, and forms an army of warriors ready to face the enemy that the Fertile Lands have ever known.

The battle will not only be fought on land. They will have to sail the sea and pass through the Gate to the Magical Time. Meanwhile, Death travels the roads of the continent, sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by a girl.

Creator as Tolkien of a personal universe, the Argentinian author believes that intelligence without emotions is not enough to live. Natalia Blanc, La Nación
