Catalina de Cerrato lives in a dangerous balance, caught between two worlds in 1551 Guatemala. Her father, a Spanish overlord, enforces colonial rule with an iron hand, while her late mother’s Maya heritage whispers through sacred vows Catalina cannot ignore.
When she discovers the lost stories of the K’iche’ people, now forbidden by Spanish decree, she risks everything to commit them to memory. Each step of her mission takes her deeper into peril, as secrets and shadows close in around her.
As her father’s tyranny escalates and her love for a rebellious Spanish lord threatens her mission, Catalina must navigate treacherous alliances and an unraveling legacy. Will she preserve her people’s history, or will her quest destroy everything she loves? One choice will determine the fate of her family—and her soul.
