Memoir
The Princess of the Wraiths is a captivating memoir that weaves science, spirituality, and personal triumph into a vibrant tapestry of life’s deepest questions. Born in Mexico City, Peregrinus Hierusalemsis confronts childhood terrors—sparked by a chilling visit to the mummies of Guanajuato and a fear-inducing teacher—that leave him grappling with post-traumatic stress. A mystical experience at an ancient monastery becomes his turning point, igniting a lifelong quest for meaning.
As a shy teenager, Peregrinus faces heartbreak over Verónica, only to find solace in philosophy through his friend Emilio, shielding him from the clutches of a drug cartel infiltrating his school. Relocating to the United Kingdom, he falls for Jana, whose guidance fuels his success in biology studies, but a toxic relationship with Birgitta tests his resolve. Armed with philosophical wisdom, Peregrinus confronts an enigmatic “Princess of the Wraiths,” determined to conquer his fears and reclaim his strength.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexico’s cultural richness, the UK’s academic halls, and Sweden’s serene landscapes, this memoir vividly describes the biodiversity and ecosystems Peregrinus explores as a biologist. While science and spirituality are thoughtfully explored, they remain distinct, with scientific accuracy meticulously preserved. Written with literary finesse, this accessible yet rigorously academic narrative invites readers into a true story of resilience, love, and existential discovery—a journey that resonates with anyone seeking to overcome fear and embrace life’s mysteries.
Originally, I used to write essays at university. Later, I wrote scientific papers. It was not until I solved a difficult issue in my life that I became a writer of books. I was able to free myself from a toxic relationship. That was a success because I was never able to do that during previous experiences. I thought the messages that I wrote to finish that bad acquaintanceship were very important, so I transferred them from my mobile telephone to a Word document. Then I wanted to add a paragraph to explain the meaning of the messages. A paragraph was not enough, so I ended up writing what became chapter 28 in my book. After that, I wanted to add more background. I ended up writing a whole memoir! I hired 5 different proofreaders in Fiverr. Four of them were American. One was British. Then I commissioned 94 handmade paintings to illustrate my book.
