Abstract
It all begins when Javier moves to his aunt and uncle’s house during the summer in Santander because his father is ill with tuberculosis. His mother shows him photos of his cousins and awakens Javier’s curiosity about Shiva’s tears.
When he arrives at his aunt and uncle’s house, he meets his cousins again, sees how they have grown up and how each one has her own personality.
The one he has the greatest affinity with is Violeta, as she shares his love of reading.
On this visit Javier will witness a paranormal phenomenon and will try to discover what has happened, the relationship between a ghost and a very valuable mysterious object that was lost for 7 decades. This jewel, a necklace of great value, crossed revenge, forbidden loves and strange disappearances will be investigated by Violeta and Javier.
It will be a very intense summer, in which Javier will experience new feelings and discover exciting mysteries.
