ALL DEMONS´DAYS is the story of two young people, Epifania and Rey, who are tossed back and forth in the turbulent world of the late eighteenth century, defined by the first global world economy, based on slavery and sugar.
The focal points of the story are Havana and New Orleans, but the various tales stretch from Europe and Africa to the Indian Ocean, and across the Caribbean. Motivated by their adventures, Epifania and Rey become secret activists, attacking slavery from within.
A compelling adventure story, ALL DEMONS´ DAYS is also a timeless allegory of power and its abuses, and of the stubborn resistance of brave individuals. It explores haunting questions of the temptations of evil.
Furthermore, it offers a rich and complex portrait of the years leading up to the American and the French Revolutions- events that would shape our world till today- as lived in the streets and on the road, on the oceans and in port cities, on plantations and in palaces.
