Terra Incognita - Paperback

by Libi Astaire (Author)

Sant Joan Januz. A village locked away from strangers' prying eyes. But when Vidal Bonet, a young man with big dreams, tries to turn his sleepy Catalan village into a world-class resort, he unwittingly stumbles upon a long-buried family secret that threatens to destroy everyone he loves. Terra Incognita is a bittersweet journey of self-discovery which will resonate with anyone who has ever gone on a quest to discover their past - or who has ever lain awake at night wondering where in the world they are going.
