Una novela épica de amor, descubrimiento y aventuras escrita por la autora de Cuando era puertorriqueña

"La narración de Santiago es emocionante.... Un triunfo." --The Washington Post

Desde que era una niña en la España del siglo diecinueve, Ana Larragoity Cubillas se siente atraída por la exuberante y exótica isla de Puerto Rico que describen los diarios de un antepasado que viajó a la isla junto a Ponce de León. Y en los hermanos gemelos, Ramón e Inocente -ambos enamorados de ella-, Ana encuentra la forma de llegar allí se casa con Ramón y convence a los hermanos de que su destino se encuentra en la remota plantación de azúcar que han heredado en la isla.

Pero las fantasías de Ana no la han preparado para el implacable calor, los peligros de una tierra salvaje, ni los esclavos de quienes depende la existencia de la Hacienda Los Gemelos. A pesar de las tragedias y privaciones, el misterio y romance de la isla la mantienen cautiva, y Ana lo sacrificará casi todo con tal de mantener el control de la tierra que se ha convertido en su verdadero hogar.

Y cuando finalmente encuentra la pasión en un sitio antes prohibido, la vida y la riqueza por las que ha trabajado se ven amenazadas por las mismas personas sobre cuyos hombros se ha levantado. Un relato sensual y fascinante: la historia cobra vida cuando se cuenta a través de la vida de una indomable e inolvidable mujer.

«Si, como dice el refrán, la historia la escriben los vencedores, entonces Esmeralda Santiago ha imaginado la historia escrita desde el punto de vista de los invencibles. Esta narración, notable por su detallismo, imaginación, meticulosa investigación y sabiduría, es historia escrita por una guerrera vencedora en el esplendor de su poderío».

--Sandra Cisneros, autora de La casa en Mango Street y Mujer sin vergüenza, entre otros

«Una apasionante epopeya que no solo revela la vida de una mujer extraordinaria, sino también una etapa esencial de la historia puertorriqueña. Rica en detalles de la época, con un dramatismo inolvidable y una fascinante galería de personajes, Conquistadora seducirá lectores, almas y corazones».
--Cristina García, autora de Soñar en cubano y Mapas difusos, entre otros

«Conquistadora es una novela maravillosa de opulenta trama, con una historia inolvidable que no solo ilustrará a los lectores con respecto a la fascinante historia de Puerto Rico en el siglo XIX, sino que además los deleitará con una narrativa entretenida y de profunda sensibilidad. Un gran logro de una de nuestras mejores escritoras» -Oscar Hijuelos, ganador del premio Pulitzer

«Hamacas, corsés, jerez, encajes, caña de azúcar y un amor prohibido».- Oprah Winfrey

«La escritora le da vida a la historia caribeña con personajes tan humanos como icónicos. La riqueza de su imaginación y la exuberancia de su lenguaje maravillarán a los amantes de las novelas épicas». -Publishers Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente--both in love with Ana--she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island.

Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda's slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny--a once-forbidden love--she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home.

This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
