The Legend of Zorro

by Scott Ciencin

Zorro behind the mask is a daring defender of freedom and justice, wielding sword and whip with unparalleled skill in defense of the common people's cause.Zorro without the mask is Don Alejandro de la Vega, wealthy landowner and as much of a family man as his charge will allow.As California stands on the brink of statehood, Alejandro is not sure who he will be when the need for the mask fades, but his lovely wife, Elena, is certain he will be the devoted husband and father she and their son, Joaquin, have patiently waited for.But ruthless men in a deadly conspiracy of power have different ideas. As they threaten the future of a still-young nation, they also set Alejandro's two lives in collision, drawing his beloved Elena into a perilous world of shadows and lies. Could the mask ultimately cost the one they call Zorro everything and everyone he holds most dear?Or will the Zorro legacy and de la Vega family prevail?

I spent most of this book hating Elena’s character

And poor joanaquin… honestly he’s such a relatable character. He looks up to this legendary man Zorro and views him as a hero and honestly same bc little me thought Zorro was the worlds best hero of all time

Zorro is not only a legend but a comedian i enjoyed his commentary during the fight scenes
