Crying Time is the first book in the MARIELA CHRONICLES. It follows Mariela Cantini, a ruthless visionary who builds a global cancer cure empire from a grotesque secret – tears harvested through engineered trauma.
Across generations, women are controlled, isolated, and sacrificed to sustain power, profit, and myth.
Lola, a sheltered teenager raised within Mariela’s mansion, becomes the next vessel when her own suffering is weaponised.
As secrets unravel – illegal experiments, coerced pregnancies, hidden prisoners, and a silenced past – journalists, doctors, and police close in.
The novel interrogates motherhood, exploitation, faith, and capitalism, asking whether saving millions can ever justify destroying the few, and whether truth can survive absolute control.
