Bestselling author Isabel Allende's first adult novel since 'Portrait in Sepia' -- beautiful, disturbing and atmospheric. Beneath the mask, there is a man. And in his heart burns the fire of injustice ! Duels at dawn, fierce battles with pirates and impossible rescues -- these are the deeds that forged the legend of Zorro. But where did the man begin? Southern California, late 18th century: Diego de la Vega is a child of two worlds, his father an aristocratic Spaniard, his mother a Shoshone warrior. Growing up he witnesses the brutual injustices dealt to Native Americans. Later, following the example of his fencing master, the young Diego joins a secret movement devoted to helping the powerless. His first steps on the road to heroism have been taken. But a great rival will emerge from the ranks of the cruel oppressors. How will Zorro defeat him? And will his childhood sweetheart Isabel claim the prize she so longs for -- his true love?
