A fatal mistake. A tormented soul. Can he break free of the chains of his destruction? Bahia, Brazil. Faron's destiny changed in a moment of heartbreaking betrayal. Accidentally killing his mother in an explosion of justified rage, the distraught son of a plantation owner and slave falls swiftly to the retribution of the other servants. But even though he's brutally punished and buried after an execution, he's shocked when he wakes transformed into a cursed being of myth. Fleeing to the Amazon jungle for a spiritual cure, Faron discovers he can temporarily transform into his old self in exchange for another person's life. But in his search for redemption as a murderous monster with an insatiable appetite for flesh, he arrives on the Gold Coast, West Africa where he stumbles upon an albino orphan, a beautiful woman, and creatures far more deadly than himself. Will Faron's abominable secret be his eternal penance? Corpo Seco is a spellbinding tale of speculative fiction. If you like multifaceted and sensuous characters, breathtaking magical realism, and blending Brazilian mysticism with African folklore, then you'll love Nadia Maddy's twisted fable.
