Durante la prima guerra carlista, in Spagna, nel 1833, il marinaio Martín Saldías ha una missione: portare un messaggio al generale Zumalacarregui, comandante dei ribelli. Martín ha perfino un nome in codice, Sara, ma non è una spia esperta: è poco addestrato, e ha accettato l'incarico solo per l'ammirazione profonda che nutre verso il generale ribelle. Ma la scarsa esperienza è solo uno dei pericoli che Martín deve affrontare: qualcuno sta tramando per tradire il generale e i suoi uomini, e compromettere definitivamente la causa. Perso in un gioco più grande di lui, assalito dai dubbi, senz'altra certezza che il suo istinto, Martín è costretto a rischiare la vita propria e degli altri, costretto a ignorare affetti e legami, costretto ad ammettere, alla fine, che le guerre giuste non esistono. Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

But how will she take to her new-found lineage? Will she finally get the respect she deserves from her fellow citizens? Most importantly, now that she has been identified as a powerful predator, does this mean no chips again... ever?
