Where the North Ends: A Novel
Synopsis
A dramatic story of love, fate, and redemption in a time travel adventure filled with mysticism as our hero moves between the twentieth-century and New Mexico during the Spanish Inquisition.
Aspiring writer Uriel Romero finds himself mysteriously trapped in the body of Diego, a seventeenth-century Franciscan novice accused of heresy. Unsure whether he's in a dream, a coma, or another dimension, Uriel must navigate Diego's fate: to be sent to New Mexico on a perilous mission to convert the Apaches or else risk the flames of the Spanish Inquisition.
As he struggles to understand his new existence, Uriel encounters a cast of colorful characters: a prophetic friar who claims to be his father, an Apache shaman guiding him through the astral plane, a talking mule yearning for the Promised Land, and Alma-his eternal love whose tragic death still haunts him.
With echoes of "The Night Face Up" by Julio Cortázar and Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda, this time-travel saga weaves history, mysticism, and existential mystery into a gripping tale of fate, love, and redemption.
Will Uriel uncover the truth before time runs out, or is he doomed to be lost between worlds forever?
