Sicily in 1693 is recovering from a devastating earthquake and struggling under their oppression of the Spanish Inquisition. Raids from Barbary Pirates menace the coastline, while European Princes plot against each other. Meanwhile, the 16-year-old Bernardo has been brought up in an isolated Benedictine Abbey since being orphaned seven years before. Now an unexpected journey will introduce him to this chaotic and often cruel world, where his faith will be tested.
Rescuing a young girl, Agata, from Barbary pirates will reveal his presence to an old family enemy, as well as introducing him to a secret Brotherhood, and to the confusion of adolescent love. However, as love deepens, the petite Agata, does not remain a victim for long. Growing into a beautiful woman and determined avenger. Family secrets and desperate journeys threatened to tear them apart but will ultimately lead them both to find out what is most important in life.
