Such a treasure is sure to bring great joy to the villagers of their tiny coastal town, and even greater renown to the Salazar name.

When a terrible tragedy strikes the village, old Luzon’s warning about El Diablo returns to haunt Ramon. If El Diablo actually exists, it will take all Ramon’s courage to face the winged creature waiting for him offshore. http://www.hmhco.com/shop/books/The-Black-Pearl/9780547334004
