About this ebook
How much are you willing to sacrifice for those who you love?
Orphaned under mysterious circumstances and raised by her grandmother, Maia thinks she’s left her tragic past behind her. Now a dreamy seventeen-year-old, Maia longs to find true love with her high school crush when she receives the appalling news that her long-dormant Cancer has returned, not just to mess with her romantic plans, but to ruin her entire life.
One night, during her stay at the hospital, Maia is visited by a peculiar young man who confesses he is about to claim the soul of her beloved grandmother. But Maia offers her own soul instead and joins this gorgeous harbinger of death in an odyssey to the hereafter. The dizzying journey takes Maia and her beguiling companion from an elaborate ball, to a steam locomotive in the sky, to a haunted abandoned country house, to the bottom of a lake, and other magical locales. They face otherworldly obstacles as Maia attempts to save her only relative and determine if there is any hope for her own tortured soul.

About the author
M. CH. LANDA is a longtime blogger and author of Vandella and its forthcoming sequel, Vandella: Resilience. He is also author of the companion graphic novel series Vandella's Chronicles. Death and the hereafter play a key role in the legends and traditions within the folklore of Mexico, where he was born. From a young age, he took fabulism to heart, endowing his stories with the duality of reality and magic. When he is not writing, you can find him watching a movie (his first passion), working out in the gym, reading a book from his endless list while he tastes a wine, cooking a new recipe, or hanging out with family and friends.
