Description

After their mother’s sudden death, twins Sara and Nico return to Santa Magdalena, a sun-soaked coastal town whose beauty masks a history of secrets, violence, and unspoken pain. Sara, a driven lawyer, finds herself captivated by Zoe, a glamorous photographer who challenges her to reclaim power and desire, while Nico drifts into the orbit of Christian, a radical zine editor whose intensity mirrors his own unresolved anger.

As grief fractures their worlds, the twins confront the shadows of their childhoods—abuse, silence, and exile—and uncover truths their family tried to bury. In a place where privilege conceals decay and curiosity can be dangerous, Sara and Nico must navigate obsession, betrayal, and the seductive pull of danger.

Death and All That Follows is a haunting, slow-burning exploration of grief, identity, and the psychological residue of a world obsessed with visibility and digital influence, where the past never truly lets go.

Advance Praise

"Although the novel is notably dark in tone and has all the tension of a good thriller, the greatest strength of Piñol Serra’s work lies in his exploration of the interiority of his characters. His portrayal of loss, in particular, is impressively nuanced [...] Overall, it’s a novel that weaves together a diverse tapestry of emotions, including threads of anger and eroticism, and it’s one that readers will find hard to put down. An emotionally complex mystery that hums with passion." - Kirkus

"Serra captures the emotional and psychological elements of loss with precision—a winning and thoughtful book overall. The characters are relatable, the plot’s pacing is spot-on, and the conclusion is just what we hoped for. Just know this going in: there will be tears shed by the time you’ve finished this story." - Independent Book Review
