The Cadiz Confession

About this book

In an alternate timeline where the Spanish Armada triumphed in 1588, a ruthless Catholic Imperium spans the globe by 1892. The narrative weaves between these two critical eras. In 1588, Tomas Rivera, a loyal but scarred Spanish naval scribe, and Sister Beatriz de la Cruz, a traumatized English nun forced into service, uncover a horrifying truth: the empire's "divine" victory was orchestrated through paid assassins and betrayal. Three centuries later in the rain-slicked, gaslit streets of Cadiz, an opium-addicted military investigator, Captain Elena Voss, and a bitter Creole printer, Miguel Torres, are drawn into a series of ritualistic murders connected to the same ancient secret. As the timelines converge, the four narrators must navigate coded texts, forbidden printing plates, and deadly betrayals. They face a devastating choice between personal survival and exposing a truth that could ignite global revolution but demands a catastrophic moral price.
