Synopsis

Malena is a twin to the almost perfect sister Reina. Malena feels cursed, left out and awkward, wishes she had been born a boy. Even her mother does not fail to let her know that Reina is her favourite and the superior daughter. She does, however, have two friends. The first is her grandfather. It is he that gives her the valuable family heirloom – an ancient emerald – which, after his death has the family wondering where it has gone, little guessing that Malena has it. It is he that tells her the first part of her historical inheritance.
