The Sword and the Moon

A romantic novel with a social dimension. When Greta Tearnet was born, fate had bestowed upon her two precious gifts: a loving heart and unwavering honesty. She enjoyed a carefree and uncomplicated childhood and had a love for languages. She wished she could be stern, or at least pretend to be. She only became aware of this hidden aspect of her personality on her eighteenth birthday, a strange coincidence given that the occasion coincided with her first profoundly impactful experience. Greta began working for Count Ramón de García, one of the most wonderful things that had ever happened to her. However, he was a rigid man, bound by his ancestral customs and imposing his own strict laws and traditions on everyone around him. The Count was not easily shaken by challenges as long as he held the reins of power and wouldn't let go of the reins. But then the tables turned, and the matter reached the point of emotional conflict. Greta then encountered a different kind of man, one who was utterly unrestrained and unstoppable in his pursuit of his desires, even at the expense of others, including those he loved.
