In the heart of a Mexican hacienda, where bullfighting tradition collides with pride, violence, and destiny, a single moment changes everyone's lives forever.

During a training faena, Joaquina, a young, brave, and admired novillera, faces a relentless bull under the watchful eyes of her family, the ranch hands, and the entire community. But the crushing pressure from her father, a harsh and perfectionist man, distracts her at the most dangerous instant. What happens next will be etched into the memory of all who witnessed it.

Amid tragedy, shame, and guilt, this story plunges us into the intimate struggles of a family trapped by the demands of honour, the weight of tradition, and wounds that never truly heal. Told with raw emotion and intensity, the bullring becomes a stage for glory, pain, and fate.

An intense and moving novel about the power of memory, the bonds of blood, and the scars left by silence.
