The Sands of Time

Description:

***Spain. A land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed.*** From the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four women flee the sacred, once-safe walls of a convent: ***LUCIA,*** the proud survivor harboring a 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. When four nuns are forced to flee their Spanish convent in 1976 to face a hostile world, they find themselves pawns in a violent struggle between the outlawed Basque underground movement and the Spanish army under the command of Colonel Ramon Acoca, who is bent on destroying them all. ***The author's other books include "If Tomorrow Comes", "Master of the Game", "Rage of Angels", "Bloodline" and "Windmill of the Gods".***
