Book synopsis

Two interwoven stories. One voyage of discovery.
It's late summer of 1492 and a bold explorer named Cristóbal Colón sets out on an
unprecedented adventure to discover a New World and carve his name in history.
Joining his intrepid crew is a young man fleeing the ravages of the Inquisition while
also striving to find his own path in the world. But also secretly onboard is a leader of
the Church, committed to ensuring that the young man fails in his ambition, desperate
as well to ensure his own place in the Inquisition hierarchy, even if it means sacrificing
his mortal soul.
Nearly 500 years later, a Dominican man flees his native land in the dark of night
following the assassination of the country's tyrannical leader and subsequent pursuit
by that country's vengeful protector. Making his way to America, the man flees from
one danger, only to draw inexorably closer to another.
The two stories, separated by the centuries, are linked in ways both tragic and astonishing.
The characters are real, as are all the emotions, the aspirations, and the fears. Outrun the
Devil is a story of discovery, terror, love, legacy, and just a touch of magic.
