A stifled scream of terror. A novice, violently murdered, hangs from a string on the well of the Monastery of Santa María, in Pedralbes. Young Alamanda keeps carefully a letter that contains a decisive secret for Catalonia’s future.

What does this letter explain that all Catalan people are depending on it?  Pedralbes’ Monastery and the Barcelona from XVIIth century are the settings of an amazing history of love and intrigue.
