As the power of Inquisitor General Tomas de Torquemada grows, so does the brutality of the Spanish church and the suspicion and paranoia it inspires. When a dear friend's demise brings the violence close to home, Santangel takes retribution into his own hands, though the risk is great. Santangel is from a family of conversos, and his Jewis heritage makes him an easy target. Soon, he finds himself implicated in the murder of the first Chief Inquisitor of Aragon and in possession of a mysterious text that has spelled death for Jews for centuries. As he witnesses the horrific persecution of his loved ones, he begins slowly to reconnect with the Jewish faith his family left behind. Feeding his curiosity about his past is his growing love for Judith Migdal, a clever and beautiful Jewis woman navigating the mounting tensions in Granada. While he struggles to decide what his reputation is worth and what he can sacrifice, one man offers him a chance he thought he'd lost ... the chance to hope for a better world. Chistopher Columbus has plans to discover a route to paradise, and only Luis de Santangel can help him. 650 0 $a Inquisition $z Spain $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Spain $x History $y 711-1516 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 6 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430013446.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20201013083729.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006053037.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717021301.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418074311.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20100608051141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E93FE43256D811DFB46C8AF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
