A Spanish Historical Thriller of Basque Separatists, Convent Outcasts, and Military Pursuits

When the Spanish Army attacks a quiet cloistered convent in the Basque mountains to flush out nationalist rebels, four nuns escape into the rugged countryside. Sister Lucia, Sister Graciela, Sister Megan, and Sister Teresa find themselves fugitives in late 1970s Spain, forced to survive outside the protective walls of their sanctuary.

Pursued by the ruthless Colonel Ramon Acoca, the women align with Jaime Miro, a charismatic Basque separatist commander fighting the military regime. As each nun reveals the past secrets that brought her to the convent, they navigate ambush, political intrigue, and personal transformation across war-torn Spain.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sidney Sheldon delivers an action-packed historical thriller set against the Basque political conflict. Blending high-stakes adventure, secret pasts, and romantic suspense, this novel is perfect for fans of Daniel Silva, Ken Follett, and Jack Higgins.
