La música tiene poder. ¿Pero qué pasaría si fuera la delgada línea que separa el mundo humano del caos demoníaco? En un universo donde la fama es solo superficial, se desata una guerra secreta que pocos pueden percibir. Los Huntks Rumi, Mira y Zoey no son solo un grupo de idolos del K-pop; son los ultimos guardianes de una barrera magica llamada Hon Moon, capaz de mantener a los demonios confinados en otra dimension. Durante siglos, cazadores de generaciones pasadas usaron la musica como un ritual chamanico para encerrar a criaturas de oscuridad absoluta. Ahora, la responsabilidad recae en estas tres jovenes, quienes deben equilibrar la fama, la amistad y los sentimientos humanos con el deber de proteger a la humanidad. Pero no todo esta claro en el mundo de la musica. Una banda rival, Sadia Boys, disfrazados de artistas, intenta debilitar la barrera y robar la energia de los fans. En el centro de todo esta Guima, el maestro de las sombras, un antiguo villano que manipula el poder y la corrupcion para recuperar el control del mundo espiritual. Entre canciones, coreografias y actuaciones impresionantes, los Huntks se enfrentan a batallas que desafian no solo sus cuerpos, sino tambien sus mentes y corazones. Entre traiciones, sacrificios y amores imposibles, descubriran que el verdadero poder de la musica no reside solo en su sonido, sino en la fuerza de voluntad y la unidad de quienes creen en algo mas grande que ellos mismos. Preparense para adentrarse en el universo de "K-pop Warriors": una historia de accion, magia, suspenso y emocion, donde cada nota puede decidir el destino del mundo.

Una residencia geriátrica es el escenario donde se cruzan los caminos de la vida de Manuel y Jesús.

Abuelos y nietos, hijos y padres... Adicciones, intereses economicos, gente no tan comun... Cada generacion podra reconocerse en estas paginas, cuestionarse, reir de si misma.En palabras del autor: ¡Vive hoy, que algo queda!. La vejez es divertidacuando no se trata con solemnidadni se la deja en soledad.

From the day of their debut, when Matilda smoked a cheroot and Margo tied a cherry stem in a knot with her tongue, the Halifax twins have flouted convention at every turn.
