ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A beautiful story of love, mystery, and adventures in an England devastated by the civil war and a Caribbean infested with corsairs and buccaneers. By the author of The Queen With No Name, with more than 100,000 copies sold.
A blinding sun comes streaming in when the slave and healer Josefina throws open the heavy curtains. Outside, in that luminous April of 1655, the colonial city of Santo Domingo is overflowing with activity and a sense of joy that is not felt in the dim room where Catalina de Montemayor y Oquendo is hiding. But what does the servant know about this girl who lives in silence, immersed in her memories, since she arrived to the island of Hispaniola? What story is she keeping to herself?
A story that began in Seville in 1638, when Catalina, then just a girl, and her mother Isabel de Oquendo, daughter and granddaughter of Basque admirals, set off in a galleon to be reunited in the New World with a father and husband they hadn’t seen in years. Destiny wanted them to end up in London, held prisoner by force.
A story that continued in Oak Park, at the Leigh estate, where Catalina was taken in as one of their own and where she found the best playmate possible: Piers, the family’s youngest son. Together they had searched for the ghosts that, it was rumored, wandered the mansion by the light of the full moon. Together they had escaped to the nearby cove, from which one could glimpse the open sea, indomitable, on which both dreamed of sailing someday. And together they had grown up, until a fratricidal war separated them.
