He never got the tattoo. But he still wears the scar.
In Washington Heights - a neighborhood alive with music, magic, and memory - Danne Almonte drifts like a ghost in his own story. Haunted by a dragon he never inked, a bond he couldn't hold, and Annie, who isn't a muse but a mirror, Danne is caught between tradition, survival, and the truths he's buried.
His Abuelita - part bruja, part general - reminds him that family stories are never finished. But as grief stalks the subway, saints wear rosaries stamped Made in China, and surreal therapy sessions twist memory into myth, Danne discovers that coming of age means facing the scars we inherit - and the love we fear we don't deserve.
At once gritty and poetic, DANNE is a powerful coming-of-age Latino novel that blends urban realism, multicultural heritage, and dream logic. A jagged, intimate story about family, ghosts, and identity, it's perfect for readers of literary fiction, psychological drama, and multicultural coming-of-age journeys.
