9.99 €
Mexico. Early 19th century. She is a housewife. He is a priest, guarding a dark secret. Their paths should never have intertwined, but Evil leaves them no choice.
After the War of Independence, young Beatriz finds herself in a predicament: her father is murdered, their home burned down, and she and her mother are forced to serve noble relatives. Everything changes when wealthy landowner Rodolfo Solórzano proposes to her. It doesn't matter that his first wife's death is suspicious. Beatriz needs a home of her own. But the estate—the hacienda San Isidro—proves to be far from the refuge she was looking for. Since her husband's departure, she is plagued by terrifying, all-too-real nightmares every night. Juana, Rodolfo's sister, laughs at Beatriz's fears. But why then does she refuse to enter the house at nightfall? Why does the cook decorate the kitchen doorway with strange symbols and burn copal incense to exorcise evil spirits? And what really happened to the first Doña Solórzano? Beatriz turns to Padre Andrés for help. The young priest, hiding his true nature as a sorcerer from everyone, feels an irresistible, forbidden attraction to the girl. He must do the unthinkable to protect her and cleanse the hacienda of darkness. If they fail, the fires of the Inquisition await him, and she—eternal imprisonment within the walls of this house...
