TORO BLANCO: A MEMOIR BY SAMAEL
Luis Herrera's genre-defying, legendary work, released in May, 2026.
What if the Devil was never the villain?
In Toro Blanco, Luis Herrera gives voice to the most reviled figure in Western theology; and what emerges is not a confession of evil, but a love letter to God written by His most misunderstood servant.
Narrated by Samael, the angel history remembers as the Adversary, this genre-defying memoir spans millennia; from the first commission in heaven to the cobblestone streets of colonial Cusco, from the occult shadows of Boleskine House to a grandmother's deathbed where the truth arrives as a whisper. Along the way, biblical episodes are retold from the other side of the mirror, a mysterious vineyard owner befriends generations of a Peruvian family, and the Four Horsemen of Revelation ride as forces already loose in the world.
Drawing on scripture, alchemy, Hermetic philosophy, quantum mechanics, and Latin American magical realism, Toro Blanco dismantles the binary of good and evil in order to deepen it.
Part theological thriller. Part prophetic literature. Part love story between an angel and the species he was sent to test.
"The truth is not binary."
For the curious, the restless, and the spiritually homeless; this is the book the pulpit never wanted you to read.
