Legend has it that only three pillars keep The Island afloat. Although its inhabitants remain unaware, two of them have already fallen, and a growing unease fills the air.
The Porks have taken control of The Island, and now King Pork rules with an iron hoof. In one of his first decrees, the most unforgivable one, he banned one of the Island’s most beloved traditional recipes: sobrasada, which has now become a contraband delicacy.
The great spider Balanguera and her thirty-three allies, the Moiras, tirelessly knit the fate of The Island. They repeat the same pattern over and over again: the end is nigh. But no one takes them too seriously, since, after all, they predict the end of the world at least five times a year.
