"The Sands of Time is the tale of four nuns who are abruptly forced to flee the secure environment of their Spanish convent and face a hostile world they long ago abandoned. Suddenly, these four women find themselves pawns in the violent struggle between the outlawed Basque underground movement, led by the charismatic Jaime Miro, and the Spanish army, under the command of the vengeful Colonel Ramon Acoca, who is bent on destroying all of them. The book is an unforgettable adventure, told against the backdrop of the fascinating countryside of Spain. It combines history, romance and suspense with the unexpected."
