Ante el indiscriminado abuso contra los indios, en época virreinal, fueron muchos los que denunciaron dicha injusticia y humillación, y algunos los que se levantaron en armas para defender a sus hermanos, como José Gabriel Condorcanqui y su compañera Micaela Bastidas, a quien esta novela rinde un noble tributo. Son las intrigas de la rebelión, los sacrificios y el hartazgo lo que alimentan sus páginas, cargadas de un sutil aliento de indignación, de coraje, en el que la traición precipita la caída de un patriótico levantamiento. Micaela es presentada con las cualidades que la caracterizan: firmeza y resolución, entrega sin límites a la causa revolucionaria, y con la valentía que la induce a luchar en los momentos decisivos. Es ella la de mayor ímpetu, la que lidera y enfrenta los inconvenientes, la inspiradora de las mujeres de su pueblo, y la que con mayor saña es ejecutada. Una oda al sacrificio por los ideales reivindicativos y a la mujer que supo abogar por la libertad.

Faced with the indiscriminate abuse against the Indians, in the colonial era, there were many who denounced said injustice and humiliation, and some who took up arms to defend their brothers, such as José Gabriel Condorcanqui and his companion Micaela Bastidas, whom this novel pay a noble tribute. It is the intrigues of the rebellion, the sacrifices and the weariness that feed its pages, loaded with a subtle breath of indignation, of courage, in which betrayal precipitates the fall of a patriotic uprising. Micaela is presented with the qualities that characterize her: firmness and resolution, she gives without limits to the revolutionary cause, and with her courage that induces her to fight in decisive moments. She is the one with the greatest impetus, the one who leads and faces the inconveniences, the one who inspires the women of her town, and the one who is executed with the greatest viciousness. An ode to the sacrifice for the vindictive ideals and to the woman who knew how to advocate for freedom.
