They baptized her Maria. However, the name of her heart was different: Maika.

Maika, which in the language of the Pomaks means "mother". A name she chose, as if from an inner intuition… not knowing that a few years later, Love itself would deprive her of the right to bring her own children into the world, leaving her with an empty belly, a vacant soul, and a doll, a faithful replica of a baby, like those that some people collect and live with as if they were real, in her arms...

Nikitas Renieris, a handsome and strong man who seems to have it all, loses everything in a tragic twist of fate in an instant: his newborn daughter, his legal wife, as well as the woman he adored more than any other...

The winds of fate will weave into their fabric the yesterday and today of the heroes and will bring them to the revelation that happiness and misfortune are two sides of the same coin. A novel that is tender and harsh, moving and agonizing, with charming heroes seeking truths that lead to upheavals and revelations that wound deeply and test the limits of human reason.
