This book was FULL of intrigue and excitement. It was full of mystery, history and had me on the edge of my seat! It is about a girl from a poor family, that looses all of her relatives and is sent to go live with and wealthy converso family, where she works as a servant (a converso is a jewish family who converts to Christianity) While she is there though, she is not just a servant but she becomes very close friends with Angelica, Her master's daughter.

When the priest summons her she finds herself feeling very attached to The Delgados and finds it hard to tell him the truth, The Delgados are good people but Maria thinks they are of Jewish faith, will she choose to save the people she loves or tell the truth for her faith. Find out when you read this AMAZING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
