Description

In Potosí, the wealthiest town in the Western Hemisphere, Inez de la Morada, the bewitching, beloved daughter of the wealthy and potent Mayor, inexplicably dies in the convent of Santa Isabella de los Santos Milagros, where she'd left in defiance of her dad. It appears as if the lady committed suicide, but Mother Abbess Maria Santa Hilda thinks her harmless and has her hidden in the convent in holy soil. Arena Ubaldo DaTriesta, nearby Commissioner of the Inquisition, hasbeen keeping a watch to the Abbess, who's also “Protestant” for his preferences, and this course of action might be precisely what he must persuade the lazy, cowardly Bishop to punish her.   At the same time frame, Potosí discovers its wealth confronted. The King of Spain has unearthed that the coins the town has been moving around the world aren't real gold and is delivering his leading prosecutor and the Grand Inquisitor to mete out punishment.
