Algunas personas son ilegales. Las lobizonas no existen. Estas dos afirmaciones son falsas. Manuela Azul se encuentra atrapada en una existencia que resulta demasiado pequeña para ella. Como inmigrante indocumentada que debe huir de la familia criminal de su padre en la Argentina, Manu se ve confinada a un pequeño apartamento y a una vida discreta en Miami, Florida. Hasta que la burbuja que la protegía estalla. Atacan a su abuela adoptiva. Muchas mentiras salen a la luz. El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas arresta a su madre. Manu se queda sin hogar, sin respuestas y, ahora, sin cadenas que la aten.Investigará la única pista que tiene sobre su pasado: un misterioso emblema con forma de Z, que la guiará a un mundo secreto oculto en el nuestro. Un mundo conectado con su padre muerto y su pasado criminal. Un mundo sacado del folclore argentino, en el que la séptima hija consecutiva es una bruja y el séptimo hijo, un lobizón. Some people are illegal. The werewolves do not exist. Both of these statements are false. Manuela Azul finds herself trapped in an existence that is too small for her. As an undocumented immigrant who must flee from her father's crime family in Argentina, Manu finds herself confined to a small apartment and a low-key life in Miami, Florida. Until the bubble that protected her bursts. They attack her adoptive grandmother. Many lies come to light. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service arrests her mother. Left with no home, no answers, and now no chains to bind her, Manu will investigate the only clue she has to her past: a mysterious Z-shaped emblem, which will guide her to a secret world hidden in ours. A world connected to her dead father and his criminal past. A world taken from Argentine folklore, in which the seventh consecutive daughter is a witch and the seventh son, a werewolf. When her mother is arrested by ICE, sixteen-year-old Argentinian Manu--who thinks she is hiding in a Miami apartment because she is an undocumented immigrant--discovers that her entire existence is illegal.
