Talisman

By Ilse V Rensburg

Three voices. One cursed heirloom. A penance paid with blood.

When Rayen Valez is murdered, the truth is buried with her-and her sister Roe is left to grieve. But Rayen's ghost won't stay quiet. She returns with whispers of revenge, blood magic, and a name.

Her sister's death wasn't random. And Roe may be next.

Now Roe must dig through secrets long buried, unearth her family's occult history, and track down a killer no one believes exists-a monster hiding behind myths of El Cucuy.

As D a de los Muertos approaches and the veil between worlds grows thin, the dead rise for justice. But only blood and bones can break the curse.

Talisman is a gothic Latinx horror triptych exploring ancestral magic, sisterhood, and what it takes to survive in a world that devours girls and their ghosts.

Perfect for readers of Erin Morgenstern, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Carmen Maria Machado, Laurel Hightower, and Anna-Marie McLemore-or anyone who believes the dead still have something to say.
