Brève description / annotation

One full moon night, off the coast of Bang Saen (a town located 50 miles south of Bangkok), a horrific crime shatters the life of a fishing family. Having witnessed a crime perpetrated by a powerful mafia network, Sombat and Tira Rungrot are forced into a desperate escape. Within hours, their three children find themselves alone, abandoned in Pattaya, a city of excess and danger. The Rungrot children follow radically different paths. Kasem, the eldest, sinks into anger and aimlessness. Pichaite, the youngest, finds a way to survive in Thai boxing, which takes him from dusty camps to the country's biggest rings. Mali, the youngest, torn from her past, goes through exile and adoption, before an unexpected future propels her far beyond her origins. From the shadows of the mafia to the limelight of power, this novel traces the rise and fall, loss and rebirth, in a human fresco where courage, willpower, and memory shape extraordinary lives. An exceptional destiny, forged by tragedy.
