The Rites of Water

Ana Belén Liaño, Kraken’s first girlfriend, is found murdered. The woman was pregnant and executed as part of a 2600 year old ritual: burned, hung and immersed in a Bronze Age cauldron.

1992. Unai and his three best friends are working on the reconstruction of a Cantabrian town. There they meet an enigmatic comic book artist who all three of them consider to be their first love.

2016. Kraken must stop a murderer who is imitating the Rites of Water in sacred locations in the Basque Country and Cantabria, all of whose victims are pregnant.

Assistant Captain Díaz de Salvatierra is pregnant, but the mystery over the paternity could have terrible consequences.

If Kraken is the father, she will be added to the list of those threatened by the Rites of Water.
