After the success of "Hidden Bay", María Oruña continued the detective series about inspector Valentina Redondo and Englishman Oliver Gordon, who moved to live in Cantabria after a personal tragedy. The action of the new novel again takes place in the vicinity of the town of Suances and the Villa Marina. The residents have not yet recovered from a series of murders that occurred several months ago, when one early morning in the ancient ruins the body of a young woman is found, lying in the pose of Sleeping Beauty and dressed in an exquisite medieval lady's outfit. In the palm of her hand, the "princess" clutches an ancient coin. The results of the autopsy are stunning: could the deceased really have come straight from the Middle Ages? But before the press has time to pick up and inflate the sensation, putting forward the stupid idea of a killer traveling in time, another body is found. And Valentina Redondo begins the investigation. Her team is approaching Oliver Gordon, who is trying to find his brother, who has not been heard from for several years. Two investigations will meet at one point, and the truth will turn out to be strange and shocking. A new Cantabrian noir surrounded by the stunningly beautiful landscapes of northern Spain.
