In the Grip of the Elements

Sun-scorched, unforgiving Lanzarote had been home to many generations of desperate fishermen from the Perdomo family until Aiza was born—gifted with the ability to tame animals, soothe pain, and comfort the souls of the dead.

Her mysterious power became a blessing for the residents of Lanzarote, and her striking beauty—a curse.

To protect Aiza’s honor, the girl’s brother kills the son of the island’s most influential man. Enslaved by grief, the father longs for blood, and the Perdomo family has only one way left: to flee. But where can they run if all around is only the endless ocean?...

The story of the Perdomo family, told by one of the world’s most popular Spanish authors, has already captured the hearts of millions. Now storms have carried Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa’s world into the view of Russian readers as well.
