For decades, the name Maria Elena de la Puente has lingered like a curse. She was known as the most beautiful lady of the Spanish era, admired by many, yet devoted to only one man. But her family had other plans. Elena was arranged to marry the eldest son of the Governor-General, a respected and feared General whose name has long been erased from history.
But the wedding never happened. Elena disappeared on the day she was supposed to walk down the aisle. Elena was never seen again in San Lázaro, and her name became a symbol of curse, misfortune, and a disgrace said to have brought ruin and death upon her family.
Until Virginia Isabel Mendoza enters an abandoned ancestral house filled with unsettling old photographs and a haunting portrait of Elena. Hidden within its walls is a room no one dares to enter, and a door only Isabel can see. A strange old woman warns her to leave, claiming the door leads to the past and that Isabel was chosen to change the dark fate of the de la Puente family.
Isabel doesn't believe a word of it.
But the moment she opens the door, the world she knows disappears. She wakes up in 1889, living as Maria Elena de la Puente, at a time when the wedding has not yet been arranged, and before history turned Elena into a curse.
Isabel must uncover the truth behind Elena's past, face the secrets that tore a family apart, and find out why she was chosen before history repeats itself.
