An unwanted gift. A desperate escape. Two intertwined destinies.

Valencia, 2023. Alice is angry at the world. She wants nothing to do with her past life. She doesn’t want to hear about her eccentric adventure companions, much less about her gift—a strange family legacy passed down to her in the Basque mountains of her childhood. Sitting in front of her computer screen, she works half-heartedly when a photograph catches her eye: from the distant past of the last century, a stranger invites her to follow the clues that will lead her to meet Bruno, a renowned writer, and help him piece together his family’s dark past. Whether she likes it or not, Alice has awakened.
Madrid, 1918. Lucía is a young nonconformist determined to revolutionize the minds of her time. The future seems bright for her, but she soon falls victim to the persecution of Julián, a ruthless Falangist and the boyfriend of her friend Rosario. With the help of Henri, a French war photographer, Lucía flees to the neighboring country. Will years of exile and a new life in the French capital save her from her past?

The Spanish Civil War, the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, and a turbulent present-day Spain serve as the backdrop for this thrilling novel of intrigue, where mystery and the supernatural come together in a fast-paced tale.
