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.
spirituality. I have worked in some labs as a molecular biologist. I have also
been interested in systematics, so I have published some scientific papers on
such a subject. I am from Mexico, but I have also worked in labs in the United
Kingdom and Sweden.
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.
