It is the dawn
of a new era. California has just sworn allegiance to the new government
of the Mexican Insurgency. But this new regime only means more trouble
for Zorro. While saving a man from the clutches of a kidnaping and
extortion ring, he learns that Diego de la Vega is to be their next
victim. But the task of saving Diego gets harder when his real adversary
turns out to be a witch-hunting priest who uses fear and secrecy
to seize land in the name of the cross.
Can our hero
save, not just himself, but all of California from a resurgence
of the Spanish Inquisition—especially when his newest ally
turns out to be a witch? Can magic free him from a tangled web of
deceit and political intrigue?
Welcome to the
home of Inquisition, a new online novel based on the character
of el Zorro, the fox.
This story may
not be suitable for younger readers. In addition, it is set more
firmly in California history than some readers might expect. So
it cannot be reconciled exactly with any established fictional time
line.
The character
of el Zorro was created by the late Johnston McCully. Some of the
characters depicted in this story are owned by Disney Studios, and
Zorro himself is now the property of Zorro Productions, Inc. The
author does not mean to profit in any way from the use of these
characters but only to borrow them in hopes of entertaining both
herself and the reader.
Since this story
is set in a specific historical period, some actual historical figures
are mentioned. Most of the characters depicted here are, of course,
the sole property of the author. However, any resemblance to actual
persons, living or dead, is purely unintentional.
