2024: A man is trapped on a tiny island by a violent storm. Then danger arrives…
Trapped on Ons, a small island off the Galician Atlantic coast, Roberto Lobeira has no chance of reaching the mainland or communicating with the outside world due to a storm. One day he discovers something washed up on the shore – something that unleashes a current of hatred, fear and revenge amongst the islanders. There are few people on this island, but everyone starts to mistrust each other, fear each other and life will never be the same again.
Events take an even more sinister turn when Roberto discovers that someone has left a very bloody offering right outside his door. A warning? Roberto sees it as a message, part of the mystery that is unfolding on this tiny island.
He will have to survive until the horrific weather conditions abate – but another storm is about to be unleashed.
Ons Island
The Ons Island is the main island of a small archipelago off the coast of Galicia, Spain. In the novel, there is a huge and ferocious storm that traps the inhabitants and then things get very dangerous indeed. In real life, in 2020, lightning due a storm started a forest fire apparently. OMG This island has form!! Not sure if this inspired the author but fancy that happening in real life!
Just off the coast, Ons is reachable by ferry unless there is a storm……
