Matt Alacrán wasn’t born—he was harvested. Created from the DNA of El Patrón, the ruthless drug lord who rules the land of Opium, Matt is seen as nothing more than a soulless clone. Most fear him. Many hate him. But El Patrón sees Matt as an extension of himself, and in his twisted world, that means power. As Matt grows, he begins to question everything—the cruelty, the control, the destiny forced upon him. But escaping the Alacrán Estate doesn’t guarantee freedom. In a world where clones are disposable, Matt must fight to define his own future before others decide it for him. Winner of the National Book Award, The House of the Scorpion is a chilling, unforgettable journey into identity, power, and what it truly means to be human.
