A beautifully told fantasy novel set in the time of the Spanish Inquisition. Fatima is a concubine in a conquered kingdom. When she finds out that the Inquisition's bargain with her King includes the life of her best friend, a map-maker with a mysterious and incredibly useful gift, she knows that they must flee the palace before it is taken over. Though Fatima's beauty is often mentioned, she is most admired for her quick wits and her refusal to give up.
