Cuando mi esposo me amenazó por centésima vez con el divorcio para que me sacrificara por mi hermana, Yoli Santos, no lloré ni hice escándalo. Simplemente firmé el acuerdo de divorcio, y le entregué en bandeja al hombre que había amado durante diez años. Días después, Yoli metió la pata en una fiesta y ofendió a una familia poderosa. Una vez más, fui yo quien cargó con la culpa por ella y asumí todas las consecuencias. Incluso cuando propusieron que yo fuera la voluntaria para probar el medicamento del proyecto de mi hermana, acepté sin dudar. Mis padres dijeron que por fin me había vuelto una hija razonable. Hasta mi esposo, tan frío como siempre, se paró junto a mi cama, me acarició la mejilla, algo que no hacía desde hacía años, y me dijo con ternura: —No tengas miedo. El experimento no es peligroso. Cuando salgas, te prepararé tu comida favorita. Pero él no sabía que, fuera o no peligroso el experimento, ya no iba a poder esperarme. Porque tengo una enfermedad terminal. Y me voy a morir muy pronto.

For twins Ethel and Elise, the line between dream and nightmare was always thin—and on Paron Island, it has been completely erased. Their idyllic gap year, a sun-soaked mosaic of beach bonfires and reckless abandon, is shattered in an instant. A "project," as the panicked news reports cryptically call it, has gone horrifically wrong, releasing a pathogen that reanimates the dead with a singular, gruesome purpose: to feed. The sisters' bond, once defined by shared secrets and sibling rivalry, is now their only anchor in a world drowning in blood. Driven by a raw, primal instinct to protect each other, they join forces with a few other fortunate—or unfortunate—souls who survived the initial onslaught. Together, this makeshift family must navigate the ruins of their former paradise, where every shadow hides a potential threat and every human sound could be a lure. Ethel, the more cautious sister, finds a hidden strength in strategy, while Elise's impulsive nature becomes both a weapon and a liability. But their fight against the decaying hordes is only the surface of the terror. Whispers of a coordinated presence, of supplies that go missing too conveniently, and of strangers who seem to know too much, point to a more insidious truth: the island's collapse was not a random tragedy. They are being hunted by something that thinks, that plans, that wears a human face. As their hope for rescue dwindles, Ethel and Elise are forced to confront the ultimate horror—that in the midst of an apocalypse, the most monstrous creatures of all are still human.

Me disponía a irme del restaurante de mi hermano cuando la gerente me detuvo. —Señorita, no ha pagado su cuenta todavía. Al ver su cara desconocida, pensé: "Debe ser nueva y no me conoce". Así que me expliqué con calma: —Cárgalo a la cuenta del señor Blanco. Él ya sabe. La gerente me lanzó una mirada llena de desprecio. —Señorita, somos un Tres Estrellas Michelin. Aquí no cargamos cuentas a nadie —dijo, entregándome la cuenta impresa. Bajé la mirada y la revisé: cincuenta mil dólares por una comida. Incluía: "Mantenimiento de vajilla brillante: tres mil. Purificación de aire exclusiva: cinco mil. Servicio de manejo emocional para VIPs: diez mil". Y montones de conceptos absurdos más. No sabía que mi hermano hubiera abierto un lugar tan estafador. Solté una risa sarcástica. —Soy la hermana del señor Blanco. Si hay algún problema, que me hable en la casa. Pero ella no se dio por vencida. —¿Ahora no puede pagar y se hace la emparentada? ¿Y hasta se inventa ser familia del señor Blanco? Envié un mensaje de texto a mi asistente: "Dile a mi hermano que o despide a esta mujer ahora mismo, o retiro toda mi inversión".
