EL JUEGO DE LOS CRISTALES (The gameof crystals)
A visionary science fiction trilogy · Mystical thriller · Contemporary magical realism In a world where reality is shaped by invisible systems, various individuals begin to discover that they are part of an ancient network known as The Crystal Game—a hidden system connecting consciousness, memory, and perception, the activation of which could alter the destiny of humanity. Three seemingly independent stories reveal different pieces of the same hidden network that links memory, consciousness, and power. As Erika uncovers a secret buried beneath the Pacific Ocean, Etienne and Salvador unravel a mystery connecting Guatemala to India, and Aurora faces the consequences of a conflict that spans the entire planet. Though their paths appear separate, they are all part of the same invisible network—one whose effects transcend time, space, and human perception. From a civilization hidden beneath the ocean to a missing girl who reappears on the other side of the globe, and an ancient network capable of altering humanity’s collective memory, this saga explores universal themes such as identity, free will, power, memory, and transformation. The game has already begun. Are you playing, or are you being played?
