1811. In ten seconds, Inés, a healer from Tilcara, must decide whether to intervene or look away. That choice can change the course of the war of independence.

Inés inherited a gift the women of her blood call Unquy: something that lets her glimpse what others keep silent, the fear, the intention, what each person carries inside. Her mother spent her life hiding it. Inés was prepared to do the same.Until that morning. In the market at Tupiza she sees a man pursued by royalist soldiers, and understands that what he carries under his arm could cost many lives.The sheets contain the plan of the royalist advance descending from Upper Peru toward the Quebrada de Humahuaca. To get them to Güemes, Inés enters a clandestine network that crosses the Quebrada, the Jujuy Exodus, and the war of the montoneras: women healers, traders, muleteers and messengers who carry information where men cannot go.
