Description
Born in southern California late in the eighteenth century, Diego de la Vega is a child of two worlds. His father, an aristocratic Spanish military man turned landowner, and his mother, a Shoshone warrior, instill in him different values and traditions. As he grows up, Diego learns from his maternal grandmother, White Owl, the ways of her tribe, while receiving lessons in fencing and cattle branding from his father. This unique upbringing exposes him to the brutal injustices dealt to Native Americans by European settlers, leaving an indelible mark on his heritage. At sixteen, Diego is sent to Barcelona for a European education, where he joins La Justicia, a secret underground resistance movement fighting for the powerless and poor. It is during this tumultuous period that Diego's legend begins to take shape, as he falls in love, saves those persecuted, and confronts his first great rival from the world of privilege.
