Type: Social novel
Atmosphere: A story full of dramatic tension, passion, and the vivid local color of Crete.
The man raises his hand and aims. The seven gunshots that are heard pale in comparison to the child's cry: "Father...". Truth or delusion? Coincidence or vendetta? The situations become tangled and take an uncontrollable turn.
A second death follows – this time a woman. "They don't kill women and girls. Look elsewhere for the killer. Not in the vendetta..." The words of the mystics sound utopian.
"Take our girl and get away from Crete immediately. Another misfortune will not be long in coming. Leave..." A mother and her daughter vanish overnight from the face of the earth. A key hangs from the wall's hook, and a poem remains endless.
Mountains and seas, songs and curses, anger and caress. Within the contradictions of fire, people build their dreams. However, will and passion are not enough. Everything can change in an instant.
An endless cycle of blood continues, and the old vendetta, like a nightmare, spreads terror between two villages of Crete. Words have never had enough power to describe such extreme emotions. What could bring about reconciliation, the longed-for Sasmos?
