About the book: 2014 / The end of the 16th century. A gloomy spirit of fanaticism and profit dominates in Spain. Two brothers, the Grand Inquisitor Sandoval and the royal minister Count de Lerma, weave intrigues, setting traps for anyone who might interfere with their plans. The thirst for power leads one of them to an idea, which is picked up by the other - to expel the Moors from Spain, who once enriched the country. The cedar chests of these quiet farmers contain countless treasures of the first caliphs of Cordoba and the kings of Granada. His Catholic Majesty Philip III is not against it, because the Moors are infidels who only formally converted to Christianity. The all-powerful favorite, deftly manipulating the puppet king, is already rubbing his hands, but an unexpected obstacle appears on his way - the young queen.
