In 2114, the world is a dying husk of ash. When the last of the Spanish royal bloodline perishes in a plane crash, humanity's final anchor to its cultural identity is severed. But scientist Beatriz de Leon has a secret: the Chronos Project. Special forces veteran Gabriel de la Cruz is sent across the fabric of time to 1937. His mission: extract a princess from the carnage of the Spanish Civil War.But he finds Isabella Maria de Borbon has traded her crown for a rifle, fighting in the mud of the Guadarrama mountains as a Republican revolutionary. As Gabriel navigates a war-torn past, he realizes he is not the only ghost in the machine. A shadow operative from a third, fascist timeline is supplying the Nationalists with impossible weaponry. Who truly funded the Chronos Project, and why was Isabella really targeted for extraction? Between the trenches of history and the conspiracies of the future, Gabriel must decide if he is a savior or a kidnapper. In a game of trans-temporal chess where every move echoes across centuries, the most dangerous secret isn't how the war ends—it's who is actually writing the script. Viva Espana is a mind-bending journey through the echoes of what was, what is, and what should never have been.
