Indian Heart

“I met the true protagonist of this story on the very day his heart stopped beating. The moment I saw him, I knew that his life and mine would change forever.”

After a motorcycle accident, Lucas, just seventeen years old, hovers between life and death. His only chance is a heart transplant. When all hope of finding a compatible donor seems lost, a suitable heart finally appears. After several weeks recovering in the hospital, Lucas begins to experience strange sensations and recall memories that do not seem to be his own.

As the days go by, he starts to understand that his body is responding to the energy of Kendal’s soul—a young Native American medicine man with powers, whose heart now beats in his chest. Lucas discovers that he must complete the mysterious mission that brought Kendal from distant lands to Europe, a mission whose key lies on the island of Saltés, buried beneath the earth for centuries.

As he himself begins to transform into a leader and a hero, Lucas is forced to face an unexpected dilemma: choosing between the love of the nurse he met in the hospital or that of the young woman Kendal loved before he died.

Corazón indio is a tribute to nature and an urgent call to reconsider our bond with the Earth—a story in which Nieves Herrero blends passion, adventure, and the ancestral wisdom of the Crow people, learned firsthand on the Montana reservation.
