When down-and-out Englishman Graham Vickers meets the enigmatic Luisa in a London café, he couldn’t guess that within hours he’d be fleeing assassins, abandoning his life, and boarding a plane to a country he’s never heard of-Venagua.
Venagua is a land of extremes: emerald jungles, volcanic mountains, and ruthless corruption. Luisa, beautiful and resolute, is the daughter of Manuel Ferrez Giraldo, one of Venagua’s most powerful-and most feared-figures. But she has turned against him, seeking justice for her people and redemption for herself.
Meanwhile, in a gripping historical prologue, a Venaguan man named Pedro discovers a cavern of priceless emeralds, but at an unspeakable cost.
As Graham is pulled deeper into Luisa’s mission, he must choose between survival and standing for something greater. Caught in a world of betrayal, revolution and natural wonder, he finds that every decision rains down consequences-and that sometimes, the only way out is through.
Venagua - and Every Time It Rains is a taut, atmospheric novel of intrigue, sacrifice and unlikely heroism-set against the backdrop of a nation that mirrors many of our world’s most urgent truths.
