Description: El Muerte is a devil. There's no better word to describe him. After killing countless people, among whom are Tarik's dad and little brother, El Muerte still continues his life as if everything is normal. Meanwhile, Tarik is picked up by two great people, who teach him multiple skills, which aid him in defeating El Muerte in the end. Utterly emotional and worth the read!
