The towns on the coast are clearly divided, and not just by the Serpent God Eliseo. The children of the Sun live on one side and the children of the Moon on the other. Their hate goes back generations, and only the river seems to tame their rivalry and pain. When Ciudad Real makes a move toward peace, the children of the Sun leave their land and live with the children of the Moon. Cati finds herself face to face with her fears. Even though her sister Cila keeps her distance from the newcomers, Cati does not feel the same hate as her family. She wants to know more about these people, especially a boy named Marco. The equilibrium of the Ipati world is fragile due to prejudice, hate, and fear that Cati and Marco must overcome to show that peace is attainable. Will they be able to convince those closest to them?
