By the Time Dawn Breaks: A Tale of Mystery and Magic From the Canary Islands

• Two friends on holiday on Fuerteventura become lost in the hills, unaware a violent storm is heading their way.
• Life in a sleepy Canarian town on La Palma is thrown into turmoil during the visit of an obnoxious American author.
• Descending into one of Lanzarote’s unexplored volcanic tunnels, a boy with an overactive imagination embarks on a fantastic adventure.
• During a fiesta on La Gomera, a foreign resident concocts an absurd plan to seduce the village’s most beautiful woman.
• A lone hiker venturing deep into a remote ravine on Tenerife makes an astonishing discovery.
• The wife of a farmer believes her husband’s tales about a strange beast tracking him across Gran Canaria are a cover for his infidelity.
• And, at the end of the world, a devoted couple make a pilgrimage to El Hierro’s Holy Tree, praying for a miraculous intervention.

All are connected by one special night of the year … and an enigmatic fisherman.

By the time dawn breaks, none of their lives will be the same again.

These interconnecting tales are all based on folklore and stories collected from each of the Canary Islands. Dive in if you are brave enough to discover a darker side to the Canaries.

This is a fantastic book. The blend of island facts and the author’s vision of fables is unique. I loved it. – RS, review left on the Real Tenerife website
