About this title

Book Description:

A vivid novel of Spain, England and France during the tumultuous years of the Inquisition

From the Back Cover:

With fanatical Philip II on the Spanish throne and the spectre of his Inquisition hovering over Europe, these are dangerous and bloody times in which to live. As His Most Catholic Majesty turns his eyes towards the heretical English, two brothers from sleepy Andalusia suddenly find themselves caught in a perilous web of intrigue.

In the fight against tyranny, dashing Blasco and devout Domingo will have to draw upon every ounce of courage and ingenuity they possess just to keep themselves, and the protestant women they love, from danger ...

Praise for Jean Plaidy:

'If you like Philippa Gregory, Daphne du Maurier or Barbara Erskine, take a step back in time with Jean Plaidy ... Meticulously researched, these superbly told stories portray the loyalties and passions, deceptions and power play that abounded in the British and European royal courts ... Every bit as exciting and moving today as they were when first written.' Woman and Home
