Overview

Some mirrors show us what we fear. Others reveal what we've lost. SALAMIN is not just a novel-it's a visceral journey through the darkest chambers of the human heart, where love and vengeance intertwine with devastating consequences. Twenty years ago, Analisse made the one choice that would shatter her world: she fell desperately in love with Gio Salazar-a man who belonged to another. Their forbidden passion ignited a catastrophic chain of events when Susan, Gio's ruthless wife, exacted the ultimate revenge. In one nightmarish moment, Susan tore apart what should have been sacred-stealing one of Ana's newborn twin daughters and vanishing, leaving Ana clutching only half of her heart. For two decades, twin sisters Vida and Hope have breathed the same air but lived in entirely different worlds-never knowing the other existed. One raised by a mother drowning in grief and longing, the other poisoned by venomous lies and calculated hatred. When fate finally forces them together, the mirror cracks. Hope arrives armed with Susan's carefully crafted venom, seeing her birth mother as the villain in a story written by the woman who stole her. Meanwhile, Vida stands as the fierce guardian of her mother's truth, determined to dismantle the elaborate architecture of deceit that has defined their fractured family. Then comes the news that changes everything: Gio Salazar has been found dead. Was it an accident? Suicide? Or something far more sinister? As accusations fly and buried secrets claw their way to the surface, mother and daughters find themselves trapped in a lethal dance of truth and consequences. Inheritance, identity, and the ghosts of betrayal converge in a perfect storm that threatens to consume them all. In this breathtaking Filipino-American saga, Brandon P. Sam masterfully explores the devastating ripple effects of one woman's obsession and the brutal price of reclamation. Rich with cultural depth and unflinching in its portrayal of generational trauma, SALAMIN holds up a mirror to the lies we tell ourselves and asks the question: Which is stronger-blood or the stories we're told about it? For readers who devoured Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You and Min Jin Lee's Pachinko comes an unforgettable tale of mothers and daughters, love and possession, and the thin line between justice and revenge. Some families are born. Others are forged in fire.
