MATTEO ALACRáaacute;N WAS NOT BORN; HE WAS HARVESTED. His DNA came from El Patróoacute;n, lord of a country called Opium -- a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster -- except for El Patróoacute;n. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself. As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patróoacute;n's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacráaacute;n Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.
