To reward him for his support of Isabelle the Catholic's quest for the throne of Spain in Castilla, Luis de Soca was ordained Bishop of Cuenca in 1488. His new position made him one of the pillars of the Spanish Inquisition under the orders of his authoritative and blood thirsty sovereign.

Thousands of Conversos so called converted Jews who were suspected of continuing to celebrate their faith in secret, were dispossessed, tortured, burned or exiled. Such was the will of the state and Luis had no choice but to accommodate. He in no way wished to compromise his most comfortable existence between his fatuous public life and his secret love affair with the voluptuous Duchess of Santoral. However, as hard as he tried, he soon could no longer ignore the lies, torture and blasphemy going on around him. But could he pay the price for his peace of mind? Could he give up passion and friendship?

When he falls in love with Félipa, a young servant, provoking the terrible jealousy of his mistress, Luis appears to have lost all control over his destiny.
