Spain. A land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. From the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four women flee the sacred, once-safe walls of a convent: Lucia, the proud survivor harboring a murderous secret from the savage clan wars of Sicily...Graciella, the beauty still unpurged of guilt from one reckless, youthful sin... Megan, the orphan seeking perilous refuge in the arms of a defiant Basque rebel...and Teresa, the believer haunted by a faith that mocks her with silence. Leaving innocence but not hope behind, they venture into an alien, dazzling world, where each will encounter an unexpected destiny - and the truth about herself.
