　　Spain. A land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. From

the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four women flee the sacred,

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.

"Enormously entertaining...delightful"

-- Chattanooga Times

"Big, broad splashes of action and crude but colorful characters

are Sheldon's trademarks, as he demonstrates again in a new novel

probably destined to join Windmills of the Gods and Rage of Angels

on the bestseller list. The backdrop for this romantic adventure

story is the conflict between Basque nationalists and a repressive

Spanish government in the post-Franco years. Pitted against each

other in a fight to the death are charismatic Basque guerrilla

leader Jaime Miro and corrupt, sadistic Colonel Acoca. When Acoca

brutally sacks a convent in search of Miro, four nuns escape at the

urging of Sister Lucia, who has been hiding in the cloister since

taking vengeance on the men who put her Mafioso father behind bars.

Beautiful Sister Graciela, tomboyish, orphaned Sister Megan and

Sister Teresa, who is teetering toward a breakdown, flee into the

forest with Lucia, where they are grudgingly befriended by Miro and

his gang. Before crossing Spain to a rendezvous point, the group

splits up to more safely evade an increasingly enraged Colonel

Acoca. Lucia's predicament presents an amusing counterpoint to

suspense, as Rubio, the simple peasant who accompanies her, kindly

explains worldly activities to a woman who knows a great deal more

than he does. Not a breath of subtlety touches these pages, but

goodwill and lively subplots move the book along at a spirited

pace."
