Spain 1492: Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand issue the Edict of Expulsion, requiring all Jews to leave Spain or suffer torment and death. Shock waves surge through the Jewish community.

Two young people, Mazal and Jaco, are caught in the throes of the horrific Inquisition. Both witnessed their fathers perish. Both are living in fear but trapped in divergent dilemmas. Mazal is a New Christian, a converso, while Jaco is still Jewish when the Edict forces them to make gut-wrenching decisions. Mazal distrusts the Church after seeing Jews convert and then be accused of heresy, tortured, and put to death. Yet she cannot abandon her ailing aunt. Jaco knows he must leave Spain immediately and treks to a southern port in search of escape. They vow to someday reunite and reignite their love.

Months pass before they see each other again. Facing grave dangers, they become entangled in a plot against the Grand Inquisitor while attempting to save lives and navigate a route to safety. Their daunting quest to survive tests whether Mazal and Jaco's love, faith, and hope for a future together will endure or shatter in a country in which danger lurks everywhere.
