Here, in an astonishing debut by a gifted storyteller, is the
magnificent saga of proud and passionate men and women and the
turbulent times through which they suffer and triumph. They are the
Truebas. And theirs is a world you will not want to leave, and one
you will not forget.
Esteban -- The patriarch, a volatile and proud man whose lust for
land is legendary and who is haunted by his tyrannical passion for
the wife he can never completely possess.
Clara -- The matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foretells
family tragedy and shapes the fortunes of the house of the Truebas.
Blanca -- Their daughter, soft-spoken yet rebellious, whose
shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's
everlasting contempt... even as it produces the grandchild he
adores.
Alba -- The fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a luminous bearty, a
fiery and willful woman... the family's break with the past and
link to the future.
