The Story of Don Luis
Spain 1648. Luis, almost fifteen, is very
different from almost every other young person in the small, sweltering village
of Riodelgado. He is different because he can read. Targeted by the local
toughs, who make his life a misery, Luis works tirelessly to provide for his
ailing mother and young sister. Then, one day, a mysterious stranger comes to
the village and gradually everything begins to change. The stranger is a
soldier, wandering through Spain searching out opportunities.
As soon as the soldier appears, terrible things begin to happen. People are murdered; children disappear. The Mayor blames an ogre. The soldier supports this view and can give evidence of the hideous creature. And he demands it be hunted down.
However, whilst talking to his old tutor, it becomes clear to Luis that there is far more to this story than just the appearance of an ogre. Could it be that this mythical beast is in some way a smokescreen, designed to keep everyone from the truth?
