The Borrowed Blade

The legend of the fox is in danger!

All grown up, Joaquin--the oldest child of Alejandro and Elena de la Vega--has taken on the mantle of Zorro--and immediately injured himself. The life of an innocent neighbor, Don Pedro, hangs in the balance, and against Elena's wishes, Alejandro agrees to go out one last time...
...only to discover someone has beaten him to his sword and mask.

Esperanza de la Vega is a proper, gentle, and polite young Victorian daughter. Espi is master with needle and skillet--and sword. Unknown to her father and brother, she discovered their secret long ago and watched every lesson, victory and failure. And now that her brother is too injured and her father had happily turned over the mask, she steps in to help save Don Pedro.

But during the rescue, Espi discovers far more than just where Don Pedro has been jailed. And her borrowed blade may not be enough to save everyone who is really in danger...
