2045, twenty-seven after Hurricane Maria. Puerto Rico is now unrecognizable. Decades after the devastation of Hurricane Maria, the island is a dystopian landscape ravaged by climate, pollution, and violence; split between the ultra-wealthy, a vanishing working class, and the desolate unemployed majority. In the midst of this chaos, Isabel Perez returns to her birthplace, finding a world she no longer recognizes. Born and evacuated hours before the Hurricane's arrival, Isabel is shocked by an island of stark constrasts. The global rich exploit the poorly administered tax haven, isolating themselves from the locals. The island born who don't cater to the rich struggle to survive in the shadows of excess, unfettered violence, and a changing climate. Decadence and opulence exist alongside despair and poverty, creating tension with no end in sight. When a medical tragedy upends her visit, Isabel must confront the island's new reality. She encounters a dark underworld of crime, political corruption, and punishing inequality. But she also finds hope in a precious few who sacrifice everything to serve those in need. Isabel will embark on a journey that will take her from the heights of human selflessness to the depths of corrupt depravity-and forever change her fight for justice. "Isla Maldita" is more than a speculative tale: it's a story about the consequences of human greed, the plight of the forgotten, and the enduring spirit of those who fight for justice against all odds. Witness an all-too-possible future in this profound story of survival and identity... and dare to hope.
