Description

"Torkemada applied his principles with a quiet conscience: he saved souls, even if it destroyed entire families, plunging them into mourning... What value does temporary life have in the face of the eternity of divine promise? What I had thought myself. Now, I envied him for being able to continue, because I could no longer."
Castile, 1488: after the support offered by Luis de Soca to Isabella the Catholic for her ascent to the throne, he becomes one of the pillars of the Holy Inquisition, headed by Torkemada, which mercilessly strikes thousands of conversos, the converts to Catholicism who are suspected of secretly "Judaizing."
However, Luis's political ambition will encounter obstacles and lead to slander and torture, with his own people becoming victims. What is the price of moral well-being when friendship and love are threatened? Luis will face his own personal contradiction: how to remain the highest representative of the Catholic doctrine when his Jewish heritage resurfaces.
When he falls in love with the young Felipa, provoking the jealousy of his lover, Luis seems to lose control of his existence. Until suddenly, he befriends someone named Christopher Columbus, who was preparing to leave for the Indies..."
