Las Vírgenes del Templo
A secret sisterhood must protect the Vatican—or risk exposing centuries of hidden power.
For more than 1,600 years, an imagined order of women has guarded the papacy and its secrets. In 1978, a threat from within puts its mission and survival at risk. The novel draws on Church history and the real year of three popes, while its sisterhood, conspiracies, and the roles it assigns historical figures belong to fiction.

An irresistible attraction becomes a perilous marriage when a woman discovers her husband’s inhuman nature. As ambition, fear, and a lover complicate her choices, she must confront the price of escaping his world.
