Life as she knew it has changed. She is a descendant of dragondrakes, women who have a spiritual connection to the Earth and want to counteract chaos. Like all teenagers after the Great Rains, she can only attend school when the rain allows it. She loves literature and likes a lot that class… as well as the connection she feels with her teacher. The unavoidable epidemic of sadness and nostalgia —the result of many grey rainy days— gradually gets worse and threatens humanity, until the dragondrakes intervene and try to find a solution. foreign rights contact Susana Figueroa; Janet Soto E-mail sfigueroa@fondodeculturaeconomica.com; jsoto@fondodeculturaeconomica.com -
