Unos pocos archipiélagos, diseminados en un océano tormentoso y traicionero, albergan una población que se mantiene en contacto gracias a los voladores. Maris, hija de pescadores, fue adoptada por uno de ellos y logro realizar su sueño, ponerse alas y surcar el cielo, alas unicas, irremplazables, heredadas de los colonizadores de Refugio y uno de los ultimos vestigios de su tecnologia. Alas que, por derecho, heredara su torpe hermanastro... condenandolo asi a perderlas algun dia en el fondo del oceano.Refugio del Viento pone de manifiesto el tremendo potencial de la ciencia ficcion como instrumento de critica y analisis social.
