A poor and motherless Brazilian girl. A ticket to the United States, where her rich father now wants to provide for her education. But then, an unexplainable fake passport, and a terrifying grave in a cemetery near San Mateo. This is the beginning of the adventures of a twenty-first century Cinderella, who thinks she is going to "discover America" and finds out dark secrets of an entire family. Worse than that: strangers are following her around the New York City streets, and someone will try to kill her, to cover up an earlier crime. Fortunately, before leaving Brazil she had been initiated in a pagan order, according to the most ancient ritual, and she had learned how to ask for help. But the members of the organization can't protect her night and day. She has to face many situations all by herself. Will she survive? Paganism, witchcraft, secret rituals, mysticism, numerology, meditation, teenagers, herbs, the four elements. Mystery, suspense, music, and love in Brazil, San Francisco, and New York City.
