In the heart of Rosario, Argentina, Camila Hassan leads a life of fierce duality. By day, she navigates the constricting expectations of her family, overshadowed by her brother's athletic ascendancy and stifled by her father's tyrannical temper. But beneath the floodlights of clandestine fields, she transforms into La Furia, a soccer prodigy whose feet dance a powerful language of defiance and dreams. As her team clinches a spot in the South American tournament, Camila is on the brink of realizing her ambitions, if only she can keep her double life hidden from those who wield the power to end it. Her journey is complicated by the return of Diego, her childhood love, now a celebrated footballer for Juventus. His presence stirs old feelings, but Camila is not the girl she once was; she is La Furia, with dreams too vast for the confines of a romance. Battling societal expectations, family pressures, and the echoes of a past love, Camila must decide if she's ready to risk everything for the chance to blaze her own trail. In a world that offers little room for the aspirations of a girl like her, Camila's story is a testament to the power of passion and the relentless pursuit of a dream.

This book will set your dreams on fire! - Reese Witherspoon
Our family was stuck in a cosmic hamster wheel of toxic love, making the same mistakes, saying the same words, being hurt in the same ways generation after generation. I didn’t want to keep playing a role in this tragedy of errors.
— Yamile Saied Méndez, Furia
