Archaeologist Isabela de la Cruz arrives at the crumbling Mission San Cristóbal Canis in search of a silver bowl whispered about in forbidden ledgers and family legends. Instead, she finds Bastián Tenorio, an unnervingly elegant stranger whose knowledge of the mission is too precise, and whose shadow seems to live a life of its own. As whispered histories stir and frescoes begin to bleed their secrets, Isabela is drawn into a centuries-old conflict where faith and folklore blur, where beauty courts danger, and where love may be the deepest haunting of all.
