La familia De Villalta, burgueses acomodados de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, recibe una carta preocupante y misteriosa en medio de la noche. Tiene que ver con los tristes eventos que han asolado a la familia en los últimos tiempos. Inés, la hija mediana, emprenderá un viaje a la península con la única intención de salvar a su familia. Modesto Andújar llega a Cádiz desde el cortijo de Jerez de la Frontera para estudiar Comercio, aunque su vocación es la política.

Intrigas palaciegas, logias masónicas, sociedades liberales, amor, amistad, venganza y aventura se dan cita en una novela prodigiosa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Cádiz, 1815. Three lives were marked by the consequences of the War of Independence and the birth of the Liberal State. What is the true name of freedom?
The year 1815: A turbulent historical moment and a woman willing to save her family. What is the true name of freedom?
The De Villalta, a wealthy bourgeois family from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, receive a worrying and mysterious letter in the middle of the night. The letter reveals the sad events that have devastated them in recent times. Inés, the second daughter, will undertake a trip to peninsular Spain with the sole intention of saving her family. Modesto Andújar arrives in Cádiz from Jerez de la Frontera to study Commerce, although his vocation is politics. In his search for what remains of Cádiz de las Cortes, home of the 1812 Constitution, he will run into Alonso Guzmán, a troublemaker that seeks to flee from his past. But what once was will come to meet him, in the form of a very special commission.
After the success of Paper and Ink and A Promise of Youth, María Reig once again shows off her historical rigor and profuse documentation to build three lives marked by the consequences of the War of Independence and the foundation of the Liberal State. A fast-paced journey through Spain at the beginning of the 19th century —Madrid, Cádiz, Salamanca, Seville, Aranjuez, Asturias— at a critical moment of union and division. Palatial intrigues, Masonic lodges, liberal societies, love, friendship, revenge, and adventure come together in a prodigious novel.
