The heat of Ceniza presses down on the district, but the shadow of Mato Valdez is colder still. He watches the girl trying to claw her way out of misery, his gaze heavy with ink and violence. She wanted to escape the score-settlings, but fate threw her into the arms of the cartel chief. In this pitiless world, where war has erased any hope of peace, she sees him as her only light. Mato, impassive, wonders if she’ll survive by trusting him, or if she’ll drown with him.
