Set in the 16th century during the reign of Philip II, this historical novel chronicles the Spanish Inquisition's pursuit of Teresa of Avila. Inquisitor Rodrigo de Castro, obsessed with identifying 'alumbrados' and potential heretics, places the saint under suspicion, as her pure spirituality and masterful writing challenged the conventions of the time. Written by Jesús Sánchez Adalid, the work offers a rigorous view of the life of one of Spain's most universal figures, revealing how Teresa of Avila was harassed by the Holy Office—a historical episode long hidden that is finally brought to light.
