DESCRIPTION:
In the remote and storm-battered land of Dhumbria, the sea devours those who dare to escape and men wear their histories tattooed on their skin. When Ze, a humble fisherman, returns from the distant Blue Mountains, he carries only one purpose in his heart: to avenge the death of the woman he loved.
But vengeance in Dhumbria is never simple. To reach the Governor—the ruthless ruler who commands dark beings born of ancient power—Ze must cross lands shaped by myth, superstition, and forgotten gods. Along the way, a mysterious stranger joins his path, offering help but hiding secrets that may be as dangerous as the creatures they face.
Epic, emotional, and rooted in Galician legend, Ze. Ice and Wind is a tale of love, revenge, and the fierce struggle against oblivion. An unforgettable odyssey into a world where myth is alive and the sea remembers everything.
