Summary

Six lands, three religions, one true love.

1497. The Mediterranean is in upheaval, and Beatriz finds herself in the midst of the turmoil. Expelled from Spain along with the rest of the country's Jews not five years earlier, she is horrified to learn of the Portuguese king's decree that all Jews must covert to Christianity. Beatriz has promised her fiance, Yusef, a merchant at sea, that she will wait for him in Lisbon, but when events spiral out of control, Beatriz faces conversion, death, or separation. If she stays, what of her identity? If she goes, how will she find Yusef again? Leaving offers dangers: land wars, civil wars, religious wars, not to mention plagues, pirates, starvation, and others who would desire her conversion to Christianity or Islam. The world is on fire. Which way to turn?

Based on real events.
