Martín Gijón, Susana

Year of the Lord of 1580. Seville lives its moment of maximum splendor as the capital of trade between the New and the Old World. Her Majesty's Fleet of the Indies is about to set sail when the skin torn from a woman's face and her red hair appear attached like a macabre disguise to the figurehead of the Soberbia, the warship that opens the sea. convoy. Next to the port neighborhood of Arenal, in an area surrounded by high walls, is La Babilonia, the most sought-after brothel in La Mancebía and where Damiana works. A few meters from there is the convent of the Discalced Carmelites, where Sister Catalina lives in cloister. Both were childhood friends and they will be brought together again in order to find out who committed such a brutal murder and why. To do so they will endanger their own lives, but also the best kept secret of the Crown.
