«Xurárame a min mesma non volver a comer terra e agora queima a miña lingua e ruge o meu estómago reclamándoa. A terra está chea de segredos pero non para min».

Cometierra escolleu dúas cousas: un barrio novo e non volver usar o seu poder adiviñatorio nunca máis. Rodeada de descoñecidos, vai saíndo pouco a pouco do seu illamento e aprende a manexarse no seu novo entorno, ao tempo que agarda o nacemento do seu sobriño, fillo do seu irmán Walter e da súa moza, Miseria. É precisamente esta última quen, ao ver no don de Cometierra un potencial económico lucrativo, a anima a recuperar as visións que lle permitían atopar persoas desaparecidas. Para iso, terá que resolver casos recentes e antigos, desvelar segredos da súa historia familiar e poñer a súa vida nas mans dunha meiga máis poderosa que ela. Só cre poder confiar na seño Ana, que por medio dos seus soños a guía e aconsella, pero pronto descubrirá que agora conta con novos amigos e unha aliada incondicional: 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.
