Mira Salvi has the perfect life—a job she loves, a fiancé everyone adores, and the secure future she’s always imagined for herself. Really, she hasn’t a thing to complain about, not even when she has to go on her engagement trip to New York alone. While playing tourist in the city, Mira chances upon a lost ring, and her social media post to locate its owner goes viral. With everyone trying to claim the ring, only one person seems to want to find its owner as badly as Mira does: journalist Krish Hale.

Como indio borrado, el Güero es uno más de los nuevos olvidados en un mundo inmerso en la violencia. El caos reina en todo lo que le rodea, incluso en su propio núcleo familiar: ya no soporta el llanto del Cabrito, el hijo de su hermana, las ojeras de su madre,el olor de su padre. Entre los recuerdos de su niñez,cuando vendía serpientes de madera con su hermana la Leidi, los consejos de su tío Absalón y las voces de unos fantasmas que le hablan del pasado de su ciudad y de sus ancestros, el Güero debe lidiar con el paso a la adultez y los sentimientos dominados por la ira.
