Would you pay for freedom with the blood of those you loved?
​
Esperanza lives a charmed life. The headstrong daughter of a wealthy Mexican landowner, her family’s wish is for her marriage to finally elevate them into the glittering world of the aristocracy. But when Esperanza meets Arturo, a handsome street musician, he shows her a side of Mexico she never knew existed.
​
Away from the opulent ballrooms and baile cenas, the people of Mexico suffer. Arturo opens Esperanza’s eyes to the poverty, brutal working conditions, and unrelenting injustice. She can’t look away, and neither can she ignore his kindness, courage, or vision for a better future—one she wants to share with him.
​
As whispers of a revolution grow louder, Esperanza finds herself caught between two worlds. One offers her security at the expense of the people, the other offers passion in exchange for safety.
​
In a time when a single careless word could cost her the lives of those she loves most, will the price of freedom prove to be more than Esperanza is willing to pay?
​
THE PRICE OF GOLD is the first thrilling historical fiction novel in the The Musician's Promise Series. Based on the historical events of the Mexican Revolution, this gripping tale of courage, heartbreak, and resistance will have you enchanted from the first page.
