My Hildegarde: A Strange Story of Adventure in the Land of Revolutions

The novel opens in Bolivar, a city teetering between carnival chaos and revolutionary danger. Morgan Kenneth has come to bury himself in the festivities, hoping to outrun memories that won't release him. But the past has a way of surfacing. When an old friend, Milo Robbins, materializes, thought drowned in a shipwreck years ago, the reunion should be cause for celebration. Instead, it leads them down a darker path: a note from a desperate American woman, a search through the alcalde's house, and a revelation that cracks open Morgan's carefully constructed numbness. Hildegarde. His wife. The woman he believed he'd lost forever. What follows is a story of lives colliding in a city where the line between celebration and insurrection blurs, where every masked figure might be a betrayer or a savior, and where two people who once loved each other must reckon with everything that tore them apart. Rathborne weaves adventure, romance, and political intrigue into a narrative that moves as fast as Bolivar's cobblestone streets.
