Blurb: “Old Salazar held the pearl to the light and turned it around and around. He gave it to his son, who had found the pearl in the underwater cave of the lagoon.

"You have in your hand the Pearl of the Universe, the Paragon of Pearls, the Great Pearl of Heaven!" he said.

When the pearl merchants woulant meet his price, Blas Salazar presented the jabulous gem to the Madonna of the church of La Paz. "The House of Salazar shall be favored in Heaven, now and forever,' he proudly proclaimed and firmly believea.

But there were others who believed a curse had surely been brought down upon Salazar and Son and their fleet, for the Manta Diablo, monster devilfish, would reclaim his treasure.

And it was young Ramón who would have to undo the evil he had begun.”
