Overview

Un thriller histórico original y apasionante.

Un imperio en decadencia.

La ambición, la venganza y la religión se alían en unos crímenes sanguinarios.

Una joven dispuesta a resolverlos.

España, siglo XVII. El Imperio español se tambalea azuzado por los ataques de otras potencias europeas. Francia, Inglaterra, Holanda o Portugal ven en la decadencia de la dinastía de los Austrias la oportunidad de asaltar los territorios españoles avivando, incluso, los belicosos ánimos de zonas como Nápoles, Cataluña o Flandes. En este momento convulso, durante la regencia de la minoría de edad de Carlos II, el Hechizado, en el que la burguesía adquiere cada vez mayor poder sobre la nobleza y la Iglesia y las intrigas palaciegas debilitan a la Corona, comienzan a sucederse una serie de crímenes en la ciudad de Zafra, bastión del ducado de Feria, que amenaza con desestabilizar el orden imperante.
 
Los regidores del cabildo aparecen brutalmente asesinados, uno tras otro, sin motivo aparente y sin saber quién está detrás. Entretanto, una intrépida e inteligente mujer, Leonarda, que viaja desde Flandes hacia los reinos peninsulares, se encontrará en la corte con un astuto jesuita, el padre Beltrán, y juntos intentarán dar caza al asesino siguiendo unas pistas ocultas en los salmos bíblicos, donde la sangre de los mártires es ahora la sangre de los inocentes.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An original and chilling historical thriller.

An empire in decline.

Brutal crimes fueled by ambition, religion and revenge.

A young woman determined to solve the mystery.

Seventeenth-century Spain. The imperial power is under siege by its European rivals.  France, England, Holland and Portugal are taking advantage of the tottering Hapsburg dynasty to strike at the monarchy’s far-flung territories and fan the flames of rebellion closer to home in Naples, Catalonia and Flanders. Under the regency of the young King Charles II, “the Bewitched,” the bourgeoisie are gaining more power over the nobility and the Church, and palace intrigues are chipping away at the legitimacy of the Crown. In these already tumultuous times, a series of crimes shakes the city of Zafra, the seat of the Duke of Feria, further destabilizing the imperial status quo. A mysterious assailant is murdering municipal officials one by one, with no apparent motive.
 
At court in Madrid, Leonarda, an intelligent and intrepid traveler from Flanders, meets the Jesuit priest Father Beltrán. Together, they search for the killer by following clues concealed in biblical psalms, where the blood of martyrs is transmuted into the blood of the innocent.
