Isle of Blood and Stone (Tower of Winds, Bk. 1)

Eighteen years ago, two princes of the island kingdom of St. John del Mar were kidnapped and murdered in a deadly plot by the rival kingdom of Mondrago. Everyone knows the story, but for Elias, Mercedes, and Ulises, the aftermath of that tragic day is deeply personal.

Elias's father was killed trying to protect the princes. Mercedes is half Mondragan, leaving her to grow up in the shadow of del Mar's hate. And Ulises inherited the throne meant for his older brothers. Now, the three friends just want to move on with their lives.

But when two maps surface - each with the same hidden riddle - they begin to doubt the story they've always been told. To discover what really happened that fateful day, Elias, Mercedes, and Ulises must follow the clues hidden in the maps, uncovering long-held secrets and unimaginable betrayals along the way. But the truth is dangerous, and not everyone wants it to come out.
