Overview
Dos mujeres fuertes y valientes, enfrentadas a la codicia, la barbarie y al crimen, se ven unidas a través de los siglos por un misterioso legado que puede alterar el futuro de Cuba.
Una apasionante historia que empezó hace más de quinientos años y que solo ahora puede terminar.
Alicia Solomon apenas recuerda algo de sus primeros años de vida. Solo sabe que apareció abandonada en una balsa, de muy pequeña, y que fue recogida por unos marineros en alta mar. Ahora, convertida en una experta en documentos antiguos, se enfrenta al mayor reto de su carrera: descifrar un enigmático manuscrito hallado en una misteriosa tumba indígena no muy lejos de La Habana; una tarea que se vuelve más peligrosa a medida que Alicia se da cuenta de que hay personas dispuestas a matar para que ese texto, escrito por una mujer desconocida en el siglo XVI, jamás vea la luz.
Y es que, más de quinientos años atrás, existió un testigo excepcional de la conquista española. Juana, una joven recién llegada a la isla de los huracanes, se convirtió en la voz de esos pueblos sometidos y en el origen de una dinastía valerosa y justa, perseguida por quienes aún hoy no dudarán en eliminar a cuantos se opongan a su codicia y a su insaciable sed de poder.
Una aventura plagada de secretos, enigmas, mitos y conspiraciones, que retrata la eterna lucha entre la dignidad y la opresión, entre la inocencia y la más depravada codicia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
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.
