Marina Corvella

There are objects that keep the secrets their owners never told.

The book

Cover of El custodio: a bronze medal engraved with a factory, resting on a workbench beside a black thread

He can't lie. She decides which truths are kept.

Mara Valcárcel restores furniture. And silences. Her workshop hides an archive of objects that retain what their owners never said aloud — and her plan is to liquidate it and never again be the keeper of anyone's secrets.

Then Adrián Luján arrives with a medal he cannot take off and a sentence he never asked for: he is incapable of lying. Three nights in a house that listens, a dead man's private confession, and a fire from thirty years ago whose exits were never opened.

The author

Marina Corvella writes about objects that shouldn't be able to talk and people who talk too late.

Her Spanish-language debut, El custodio ("The Custodian"), is a work of contemporary fantasy built like a case file: houses that remember, curses passed down through inheritance, and one question that keeps resurfacing — who owns the truth we keep about someone else?

Her future books will return to that same territory, where mystery, fantasy, and desire share the same page.
