Reseña del libro "The Stolen Meridian (en Inglés)"
She drew the lines that could save a city. He was sent to steal them. Venice, 1668. Behind the walls of a cartographer's workshop, Lucia Contarini is not who the world believes her to be. By day she signs her work with her dead brother's name, bent over ink and parchment in a man's coat, drafting charts that guide Venetian ships safely home. By night she is simply a woman grieving a brother lost to a war that refuses to end - a woman who has buried her own heart beneath borrowed identity, certain that no one will ever look closely enough to find her beneath it. Yusuf Dimas looks closely enough. Born beneath Ottoman skies and bound by a debt he never chose, Yusuf has crossed the sea not for conquest, not for glory, but for the two lives he loves more than his own freedom - a mother and sister held as leverage by a man who deals in blood and secrets. All he must do is earn Lucia's trust, uncover her secret, and deliver into enemy hands the one thing that could turn the tide of a war already drowning in bodies. A simple task. A single betrayal. Nothing more. Except Lucia Contarini is not simple. And the closer Yusuf draws to her, the more the lines between duty and desire, enemy and ally, blur like ink bleeding through wet parchment. As the siege of Candia tightens like a noose around two empires locked in a war neither can afford to lose, Lucia and Yusuf find themselves holding a secret far more dangerous than either of their disguises - a love that could doom them both, and a map that could end a war, if only they can decide what they are willing to burn to protect it. Masks will fall. Empires will demand their due. And somewhere between Venice's gilded canals and Candia's bloodied shores, two people who were never supposed to meet, let alone love, must decide whether loyalty is worth more than the truth of their own hearts. Because some borders are drawn in ink. Others are drawn in blood. And the most dangerous ones of all are drawn across the human heart. For readers who have ever wondered what it costs to love across enemy lines - The Stolen Meridian is a sweeping tale of identity, betrayal, and the kind of love that redraws the map of everything you thought you knew. Some hearts cannot be charted. They can only be found.
