La Biblia escarlata

Spain, 17th century. The Spanish Empire is reeling, fueled by the attacks of other European powers. France, England, Holland and Portugal see in the decline of the Austrian dynasty the opportunity to assault the Spanish territories, even fueling the bellicose spirits of areas such as Naples, Catalonia or Flanders. At this turbulent time, during the regency of the minority of Charles II, the Bewitched, in which the bourgeoisie acquired increasing power over the nobility and the Church and palace intrigues weakened the Crown, a series began to take place. of crimes in the city of Zafra, bastion of the Duchy of Feria, which threatens to destabilize the prevailing order. The council members are brutally murdered, one after another, for no apparent reason and without knowing who is behind it. Meanwhile, an intrepid and intelligent woman, Leonarda, who travels from Flanders to the peninsular kingdoms, will meet at court with an astute Jesuit, Father Beltrán, and together they will try to hunt down the murderer by following clues hidden in the biblical psalms, where The blood of the martyrs is now the blood of the innocent.
