Lucía Méndez, a Salvadoran-American woman with a haunting past, is forced to confront the unthinkable: the man she loved—and killed six years ago—has returned. Once Emilio Reyes, a revolutionary turned threat, now he walks the Earth again in the body of the newly elected U.S. President, Elijah Renner. Fueled by vengeance and an unholy rebirth, he wages war against Salvadorans across the country, using executive power to deport millions and erase their presence from American soil.

As her community is torn apart by fear and exile, Lucía refuses to run. She dives into the heart of resistance, determined to stop the ghost of the man she once called mi amor. When Emilio arrives at her doorstep, the two face off in a battle of love, betrayal, and power that threatens to reshape the nation. With ancestral magic, deep wounds, and an ancient truth on her side, Lucía must choose between surviving and setting her people free.
