«Ez nuen inoiz berriro lurra jango nuela zin egin nuen, eta orain mihia erre egiten dit eta sabeleak oihuka egiten du eskatuz. Lurra sekretuz beteta dago, baina ez niretzat».

Cometierra bi gauza aukeratu ditu: auzo berri batean bizitzea eta inoiz ez bere aurresanetako boterea berriro erabiltzea. Ezezagun artean, pixkanaka bere itxialditik ateratzen doa eta ingurune berrian moldatzen ikasten du, aldi berean bere ilobaren jaiotza itxaroten, bere anaia Walter eta bere neska-lagun Miseriaren semea. Azken hau da, hain zuzen ere, Cometierra-ren dohainari potentzial ekonomiko errentagarria ikusten diona, eta ikuspegiak berreskuratzera animatzen du, desagertutako pertsonak aurkitzeko aukera ematen ziotenak. Horretarako, kasu berriak eta zaharrak konpondu beharko ditu, bere familiaren historia sekretuak argituko ditu eta bere bizitza berak baino botere handiagoko sorgin baten eskuetan utziko du. Ana irakasleari bakarrik konfiantza egin diezaiokeela uste du, ametsen bidez gidatzen eta aholkatzen baitu, baina laster ohartuko da orain lagun berriak eta aliatu incondicional bat duela: Miseria.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE ENSHRINEMENT OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SURPRISES IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE.

By the author of Eartheater, "a reading revelation" (Babelia) and one of the best books of the year according to The New York Times, El País, and El Cultural, translated into twelve languages.

"Dolores Reyes' narrative is intense and pressing, but it is also inscribed in the most powerful tradition of fantasy and crime fiction, all the while considering gender violence with immense lucidity." --Mariana Enríquez

"I had sworn never to eat earth again, and now it burns my tongue, and my stomach roars demanding. The earth is full of secrets, but not for me."

Eartheater has made two choices: moving to a new neighborhood and not using her prophetic powers ever again. Surrounded by strangers, little by little, she leaves her confinement and learns to handle herself in this new environment while waiting for her nephew's birth, the son of her brother Walter and his girlfriend, Misery. It is precisely the latter who, seeing a profitable economic potential in Eartheater's gift, encourages her to restore the visions that allowed her to find missing people. To do so, she must solve recent and old cases, reveal secrets of her family history, and put her life in the hands of a witch more powerful than she. Eartheater thinks she can trust no one but Miss Ana, who guides and advises Eartheater in her dreams. But, she soon will discover that she now has new friends and an unconditional ally--Misery.
