ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A historical thriller that will take your breath away. A community of women on the fringes of society An accusation of heresy A series of increasingly violent deaths Leuven, Belgium early 13th century. In a flourishing community of Beguines - a sisterhood of lay women not bound by vows who chose to live together apart from men, devoted to their intellectual work and caring for the homeless - a series of deaths suddenly disrupt the peace. The first murder seems to have been accidental, but the second one shows clear signs of cruelty and quickly draws the attention of the Inquisition, which has been looking for an excuse to close down their community for some time. It will be then when the Great Lady sends for the Beguine Martha, considered the most intelligent woman of her time, to take charge of the investigation. Through an impeccably intriguing plot, Mario Escobar plunges us into the fascinating and little-known world of the Beguines, a sisterhood of secular women that reached tens of thousands of members and spread throughout Europe.
