Book One: Zorro: The Mask and the Flame

In the twilight of Spanish rule over Alta California, a legend rises from the shadows.

By day, Don Diego de la Vega is a disarming aristocrat, known more for wit and charm than revolution. By night, he dons a mask and becomes Zorro, the feared and revered vigilante striking terror into the hearts of corrupt officials and tyrants alike.

But when Diego crosses paths with Isabela Morales-a fiery, intelligent noblewoman forced into an engagement with a brutal military captain-their lives collide in a storm of forbidden passion and shared defiance. As their desire deepens, so does their commitment to a growing rebellion, and soon they are not only lovers but co-conspirators in a war neither of them can escape.

Together, they ignite a revolution-raiding convoys, exposing betrayals, and carving the mark of justice into a crumbling empire. But the Spanish Crown will not surrender quietly. When Zorro is unmasked and the full fury of colonial power bears down on them, Diego and Isabela must choose between survival and sacrifice, passion and principle.

As flames rise across California and blood stains the soil, their love becomes more than rebellion-it becomes legend.

But just as victory seems within reach, a new threat arrives in secret-one darker, more dangerous, and tied to Diego's past. The blade of freedom may have struck deep...

...but the war has only just begun.
