ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Best Popular Fiction and Best Novel Adventure or Drama in Spanish winner at the International Latino Book Award 2020.

Gold Medal for Best Book in Spanish Language of the Florida Book Awards.

Two strong and brave women, faced with greed, barbarism, and crime, are united through centuries by a mysterious legacy that can alter Cuba's future.

An exciting story that began over five hundred years ago and one that can only end now.

Alicia Solomon hardly remembers anything from the first years of her life. She only knows that she was found abandoned on a raft, when she was very small, and that she was picked up by some sailors on the high seas. Now as an expert in ancient documents, she faces the greatest challenge of her career: deciphering an enigmatic manuscript found in a mysterious indigenous tomb not far from Havana; a task that becomes more and more dangerous as Alicia realizes that there are people willing to kill so that this text, written by an unknown woman in the 16th century, never sees the light of day.

It happens that more than five hundred years ago, there was an exceptional witness to the Spanish conquest. Juana, a young woman who had recently arrived on the island of hurricanes, became the voice of the conquered people and the origin of a brave and just dynasty, persecuted by those who even today won't hesitate to get rid of those who oppose their greed and their insatiable thirst for power.

An adventure full of secrets, enigmas, myths, and conspiracies, which portrays the eternal struggle between dignity and oppression, between innocence and the most depraved greed.
