In San Francisco in 1866, an Irish nun, abandoned following a torrid relationship with a Chilean aristocrat, gives birth to a daughter named Emilia del Valle. Raised by a loving stepfather, Emilia grows into an independent thinker and a self-sufficient young woman. When fictional worlds can no longer satisfy her sense of adventure, she turns to journalism, convincing an editor at The Daily Examiner to hire her. There she is paired with another talented reporter, Eric Whelan. When an opportunity arises to cover a brewing civil war in Chile, she seizes it, as does Eric, and while there, she meets her estranged father. As she and Eric discover love, the war escalates, and Emilia finds herself in extreme danger, fearing for her life and questioning her identity and her destiny.
