Biting the Orchid

Biting the Orchid is the story of a man who, after years of precariousness and systemic violence, becomes convinced that justice can only be achieved from the margins.
His life takes a turn when he is hired as a tutor for Júlia, the daughter of a wealthy family spending the summer in a villa in Tabarca. Fascinated by her warmth and the world of privilege she represents, he finds himself seduced by the idea of belonging to that universe. However, his past haunts him: a recent act of revenge torments him, and the tension aboard the yacht taking them to Lipari threatens to expose his secret.

As their time together grows more intense and his traumas resurface, the protagonist is forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: perhaps the only way to survive is to confess his story… or take control before he is discovered.

With sharp, immersive prose, Biting the Orchid is a hypnotic journey to the edges of morality, where desire, violence, and redemption intertwine in a tale as fascinating as it is unsettling.
