Tessie Santiago stars in this series set in 19th century California as Tessa Alvarado, who masquerades as the avenging Queen of Swords. Tessa, a beautiful young Spanish aristocrat and returns to her California birthplace after the death of her father to find the country in the hands of a military governor who abuses his power, taxing his subjects to the point of starvation. Tessa's idealism is almost destroyed until her dreams reveal her destiny. She will take up arms to avenge her father's death, to protect the weak and punish the unjust - all behind the mask of the Queen of Swords.
Aided by her long-time servant and confidante, Marta, Tessa leads three separate existences. She is Tessa, a young woman who longs for love and normalcy. She's the Queen of Swords, a disguised warrior seeking justice in an unjust world. And lastly, she's Maria Teresa Alvarado, a privileged aristocrat whose pettiness and snobbery hide Tessa's identity as the masked crusader. Her prime enemy is the deadly tryant Colonel Luis Montoya who is dedicated to his quest for wealth and power, and his mercenary, Grisham. Guest stars include Bo Derek and Daisy Fuentes
