This is an excellent period novel. The actors are well convincing in their roles and there is plenty of action. Includes realistic sword fights and scenes filmed on location instead of in a studio. If you enjoy reading historical romance; you will just love this. Fernando Colunga does an outstanding performance. Daniela Roma shines as the villain in this. Besides the main story, there are several minor subplots between supporting actors which are also very intriguing. Watching the four male lead actors reminded me a lot of "The Four Musketeers". The background musical score was quite appropriate and enhanced with singing by Placido Domingo. Expected to be released in the near future on DVD (with English subtitles )by Televisa. I enjoyed it tremendously and wish they would do a sequel. American soap operas don't even come close to this. Highly recommended!
