The Light of Zaragoza
A fiery female insurgent and a widowed nurse find love until irreconcilable ideals separate them as war escalates. When they reunite at an autumn festival six years later, does enough heat remain to rekindle their romance?
Zaragoza, Spain, 1808: During the War of Spanish Independence, fiery Manuela Lucientes becomes an unexpected heroine when she defends Zaragoza from the besieging French. Estrella Barceló, a widowed mother, volunteers to nurse the wounded. For one all-too-brief autumn, Manuela and Estrella find love. When Zaragoza surrenders, Estrella wants peace for the sake of her son, but Manuela cannot turn her back on the fight for Spain’s independence.
Six years later, Manuela is a folk icon throughout Spain as the first female officer in the Spanish Army. Estrella is raising her son in remote, peaceful Alquézar, far from the shadows of war. Manuela and Estrella reunite in late September during the Feast of San Miguel—but is it too late to rekindle their love?
