Under Their Skin · Domingo Sáez Romero

BEFORE YOU JUDGE
WALK
WITH THEM

Welcome to the official world of UNDER THEIR SKIN. This is not a trilogy or a closed collection. Every year will bring a new novel, a new life, and a new story inspired by human realities the author has encountered up close over the course of his professional life. Borders, loss, survival, family, fear, dignity, and hope. Every book follows a different person and a different road, but keeps the same promise: to make you see the world from the hardest place of all— inside the life of the person living it. And when you close one story, the next will already be waiting.

UNDER THEIR SKIN: STORIES YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE FROM THE OUTSIDE

UNDER THEIR SKIN is an annual literary series by Domingo Sáez Romero, inspired by realities, testimonies, and lives he has encountered up close over the years. It is not a trilogy. This world will grow with a new book every year, each one standing on its own and centered on different people, places, and choices. The release schedule will always follow the same rhythm: the eBook arrives on January 1, the paperback on February 1, and the hardcover on March 1. That same March 1, pre-orders open for the following year's book. One story completes its arrival just as the next begins to come into view.

HUMAN STORIES

They are not numbers or headlines. They are fathers, sons, mothers, friends, promises, and memories. Each novel places one human life at the center of what too often gets viewed from a distance.

BORDERS

Deserts, jungles, seas, highways, and hidden crossings turn every border into more than a line on a map. Each one becomes a test that can permanently change the person trying to cross it.

SURVIVAL

Hunger, exploitation, fear, violence, illness, and impossible choices force the characters to discover how far the body can endure when the will refuses to stop.

FAMILY AND MEMORY

A song, a doll, a drawing, a photograph, or a promise can weigh more than any piece of luggage. What we leave behind is often the very thing that keeps us moving forward.

DIGNITY AND LOSS

Survival does not always mean victory. The characters lose places, people, and parts of themselves while fighting to hold on to what no one should ever be able to take from them: their name and their dignity.

THE UNDER THEIR SKIN UNIVERSE

CROSSING THE DESERT AND THE SEA opens the series and is available now. AMINA is the next story and will be available for pre-order. Together, they mark the beginning of a collection that will grow every year with new lives and new journeys. The official soundtrack and Dance version extend that world beyond the page.
