ma·ca·bre /məˈkäbrə/ Adjective Disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury: "a macabre series of murders". Literally, montuno means 'comes from the mountain', but another possibility is that the word "Montuno" comes from the word "Montura" which is the Spanish word for "Saddle", because the rhythm in Son music is like riding a horse. Here it is usually a faster, brasher, semi-improvised instrumental section, sometimes with a repetitive vocal refrain. Maggie Le Rouge is your average stereotype of a rebellious teenager. She had just finished her eighth grade year of school. All she wanted to do every year was escape from the neglect of her invisible parents. Rich, powerful and always working, her parents could never see how broken she truly was. So what's her solution? Run away to summer camp. But the moment she steps onto the porch of the mess hall, she knows this will not be your ordinary week-and-a-half of summer fun. No, it will be much worse. But what do her old mid-school crushes have to do with any of this? Will she finally find hope? Why is the main event so horrifying? And why does the "Conductor" seem so suspicious? This is one camp that will change anyone who comes, for good and bad. Amazing cover by _Katsumi_Bara_! Thank you :)

She trusts everyone. She always sees the good in people. Not because she's naïve, but because she chooses to trust. Every time, she chooses to believe that people are more than their worst side. She's sensitive, emotional, radiant. And she's used to earning everything on her own. He's been burned by love. He's spent his life chasing the wrong person, skimming the surface so he wouldn't have to feel too much-because the only one who ever truly loved him left far too soon. He comes from an important family, from a world where the path is already set and choices are never truly free. She speaks with her heart in her hands, lets herself go, trusts him without knowing who he really is. And that throws him into crisis. He desires her, but he can't afford her. In his polished world, built on appearances and opportunism, Aurora is an anomaly. Almost like a magic lamp. She doesn't seek perfection. She doesn't demand excellence. She asks only for honesty. A sincerity he isn't capable of giving. Aurora has never felt interest in anyone-she's never been with any boy. Yet being close to him ignites desires and sensations she can't name. Tom is ironic, brilliant, magnetic. An arrogant show-off with freckles and a breathtaking smile. But behind those smiles there's something that doesn't add up. A shadow she senses without being able to define it. And yet she can't stop choosing him. Even when everyone around her keeps warning her.
