Where the North Ends: A Novel

di Hugo Moreno (Autore)

University of New Mexico Press, 2025

A dramatic story of love, fate, and redemption in a time travel adventure filled with mysticism as our hero moves between the twentieth-century and New Mexico during the Spanish Inquisition. Aspiring writer Uriel Romero finds himself mysteriously trapped in the body of Diego, a seventeenth-century Franciscan novice accused of heresy. Unsure whether he’s in a dream, a coma, or another dimension, Uriel must navigate Diego’s fate: to be sent to New Mexico on a perilous mission to convert the Apaches or else risk the flames of the Spanish Inquisition. As he struggles to understand his new existence, Uriel encounters a cast of colorful characters: a prophetic friar who claims to be his father, an Apache shaman guiding him through the astral plane, a talking mule yearning for the Promised Land, and Alma—his eternal love whose tragic death still haunts him. With echoes of “The Night Face Up” by Julio Cortázar and Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda, this time-travel saga weaves history, mysticism, and existential mystery into a gripping tale of fate, love, and redemption. Will Uriel uncover the truth before time runs out, or is he doomed to be lost between worlds forever?
