A Tragedy. An event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a severe accident, crime, or natural catastrophe.
In all aspects, the novel Laia. Desire, Obsession, Madness, and Murder are a tragedy.
This sad tale is a tragedy of Shakespearean scope and dimensionÑalthough this author demurs to include talent.
Although the extraordinary music score of ÒQueen of the Murder SceneÓ by master
composers and lyricists Mses. D. Villarreal, P. Villarreal, and A. Villarreal provides a granite
bedrock upon which the author was able to construct this story.
The Queen. The Crimson Queen
ÑLa Reina Carmes’.
Laia Luna Saia, through no fault of her own, was born into and existed on the dark end of reality. Her landscape of chaos was a bleak black-and-gray topography of paradoxes and contradictions, where truth was a stranger, and love was beyond her grasp.
