A mystery hidden on a remote Caribbean island is about to be unveiled by Ángel de los Santos, a crew member of Admiral Christopher Columbus’ first expedition, when he decides to stay behind on the island and take leave of his shipmates, who sail on towards the East Indies. He has no inkling of what is living in a part of the island that the natives never visit, something as ancient as the history of the world. The islanders mention the being with fear and reverence, and barely dare to name him out loud: «Gucumatz». Without knowing, Ángel has crossed the ocean to meet him.
This is the fascinating story that Elena, a schoolgirl, will discover when she delves into the secrets of an ancient legend of Jaen that links the discovery of the new world to a mysterious fifteenth century order of knights. But an even bigger surprise awaits her, as she personally is far more closely involved than she could ever imagine...
