Liliana Bodoc
The best representative of 21st century Latin American epic and one of its most original and poetic voices. She has been compared in recent years with the Scottish writer J. K. Rowling, becoming the Argentinian Rowling. But she does not repeat old myths. She has created her own epic to carve her own myths.

Bodoc’s books have been translated into German, French, Dutch, Japanese, Polish, English, and Italian and have sold thousands of copies (more than 140,000 in 16 reprints).

She earned her BA in Literature from the Cuyo University, where she was also a professor for a few years. In 2002 she published her first volume "Days of the Deer", first novel of the trilogy “Saga of the Confines”, a fantastic epic that quickly became a Bestseller. The second and third volume of her saga, concluded what can be considered an epic and magical trilogy inspired in Aboriginal legends from Latin America.

Bodoc reworks Ursula Leguin and J.R.R. Tolkien styled sagas from a “Latin American” perspective where simple acts are interwoven with epic actions and women and children have leading roles and are capable of turning the course of events. "Saga of the Confines", a trilogy inspired in pre-Columbian America, is considered one of the most important texts published in Argentina in the last decade and has won thousands of young and adult fans.

Even the American writer Ursula K. Le Guin, a leading authority in the genre, celebrated Bodoc’s debut: “I return home from two journeys. But your imaginative journey take me even further”, she wrote to her.

She has won many awards and honours, including:
2002 Buenos Aires Book Fair Award
2002 and 2003 White Ravens Special Mention
2003 Venezuela Kaleidoscope Award
2004 Konex Award Juvenile Literature
2014 Platinum Konex Award Juvenile
2008 Barco de Vapor Award

The son of Death, Misáines, was defeated in his first attempt to conquer the Fertile Lands, as was narrated in Los días del venado.

But after a long breath of air which lasted five solar years, Misáianes prepares a new invasion with redoubled strength and cruelty. His troops are about to land again in the continent, this time with his own mother leading the invading ships.

In the meantime the Deer Army, in the middle of infightings, disputes and betrayals, prepares the resistance with a threefold strategy: sending a fleet to the Old Lands, an exodus to the magic time, and the creation of an army of warriors willing to fight against the most dreadful enemy they have ever faced in the Fertile Lands.

This time a heroic fight in the battleground won’t be enough. It will be necessary to take the sea. It will be necessary to cross the Door that leads to the Magical Times. While preparations are made by the resistance, Death trails along the roads in the continent. Sometimes alone, sometimes lead by a little girl.
