Inhaltsangabe

1811. In ten seconds, Inés, a healer from Tilcara, must decide whether to intervene or look the other way. Her choice could change the course of the war for independence.

Inés inherited a gift the women of her bloodline call Unquy: a sensitivity that lets her glimpse what others leave unspoken—fear, intention, whatever each person carries within. Her mother spent a lifetime hiding it. Inés was prepared to do the same.

Until that morning. In the market at Tupiza, she sees a man pursued by royalist soldiers and realizes that the papers under his arm could cost many lives.

The papers contain the plan for a royalist advance from Alto Perú toward the Quebrada de Humahuaca. To get them to Güemes, Inés enters a clandestine network that stretches across the Quebrada, the Jujuy Exodus, and the war of the montoneras: healers, traders, muleteers, and messengers—women who carry intelligence where men cannot go.

The man from the market has a name, Sebastián Aguirre, and he has learned to hide in a different way. Between loyalty, danger, and the weight of what Inés has inherited, love grows between them—deliberately chosen, with full knowledge of what is at stake.

With the restraint of Río de la Plata realism and the emotional force of Latin American historical fiction, UNQUY tells the story of the women who sustained independence from the margins.

For readers of Isabel Allende, María Dueñas, and Geraldine Brooks.
