Book description
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, Blasco and 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 ...
