The Warning is the first novel by the acclaimed Spanish author Paul Pen. This fast-paced thriller immerses the reader in a story full of suspense and emotion. Leo, an eight-year-old boy, receives a letter announcing the date of his death, marking the beginning of a series of messages that attempt to warn him of a fatal destiny. As his parents seek answers, they face a disturbing discovery: is Leo the author of these messages? Meanwhile, Aaron decides to break up with his girlfriend Andrea, and that same night, a friend of his is shot in mysterious circumstances. Tormented by guilt, Aaron embarks on a search for an explanation for this tragic event. Both stories converge in Arenas de la Despernada, a town on the outskirts of Madrid, where a dark secret lurks behind the facade of normality.
