Historically, the book is based on the Indigenous tribe of Colombia that lived in the Northern highlands ranges of the Andes Mountains. They were the most sophisticated after the Aztecs and the Incas until the Spanish invaded in 1537. However, the story follows a girl born in 1917 from a little village called, Simte. A drug lord, Eduardo, is the reason her parents are dead and why, two years after their demise, she's forced to run off into the Amazon with her best friend, Cabello. That's where the story begins and the end will make one to know if the second book is out yet.
