A love that burns more fierce than any holy flame threatens to engulf Spain in this scintillating historical romance. Proud as her aristocratic upbringing, bold as the ancient gypsy blood that ran in her veins, the beautiful, golden-haired Maria saw her family burned at the Inquisitor's stake, watched her young lover, the adventurous Rafael de Alagon, forced into the priesthood. Desperate, and bound by a forbidden love, she defied the Grand Inquisitor himself, fled across Spain with the gypsy king, was enslaved by the Blue Sultan, and escaped to entreat Queen Isabella's favor at the dazzling Spanish court. But through all of her travels, Maria is bound to Rafael by a love more unshakeable than faith, that burns hotter than the fires of the Inquisition.

The story which was born out of Tomas Torquemada's life is one of religious and racial bigotry which escalated into what can only be termed hatred. The fact that these levels of cruelty were performed by a highly regarded member of a religion whose principles are based on tolerance, makes the cruelty seem so much more inhuman. There have been many biographers interested in the Torquemada story and some have accepted that he acted as prescribed by the state of the world at that time, but some stand by him having been just a cruel fellow. The inquisitions did not start with him, nor did they end with him, but only in his situation were so many people killed, maimed and/or stripped of their wealth in such a short time. This could not have been by default but by design, and his actions earned him praise from those who considered his deeds holy, 'Light of Spain' someone called him, and yet another one called him 'The hammer of the Heretics'. Questions have risen over the centuries as to what really the driving force behind Torquemada's intolerance for the Jews was, with some biographers indicating that he hated his Jewish ancestry so much that he felt by doing what he was doing, it was his own penance for having in his blood, part of the same blood as those who crucified Christ. In two languages, Spanish and Latin, his name makes reference to fire; a more befitting name could not be found for someone believed to have singularly caused the deaths of thousands by burning, and countless others being tortured by methods which used fire. He may have done what he did for his faith, but the numerous complaints which found their way to the Vatican during Tomas Torquemada's tenure as Spanish Grand Inquisitor point to unmatched cruelty; and so do the reports about his actions. This book gives a detailed discussion of this infamous man and most of the atrocities he committed against the Jews. Read on and find out for yourself just how low man can degenerate if the situation so allows.

This is an incredible history focusing on the role of Tomás de Torquemada in the Spanish inquisition. Torquemada was a Castilian Dominican friar and the first Grand Inquisitor in Spain's movement to standardize religious conventions with those of the Catholic Church in the late 15th century. In 1483, Ferdinand and Isabella appointed a state council to administer the inquisition with Torquemada acting as its head and he ultimately acquired the title of Inquisitor-General. The accounts presented in this work are raw but factual and solid. Sabatini debunks some popular misconceptions about the inquisition and gives his own views on the time's prominent political and religious figures. This history is illustrated with trials and examples of Torquemada and the Holy Office at work. It is well-written and often surprising in its revelations.

A wide sweeping yet intimate historical fiction account of Jewish resistance during the Spanish Inquisition and the lead up to Columbus’ voyage to the New World As political turmoil rages, a chancellor to the king must hide his romance with a Jewish woman as well as his own Jewish ancestry in order to survive Luis de Santángel, chancellor to the court and longtime friend of the lusty King Ferdinand, has had enough of the Spanish Inquisition. As the power of Inquisitor General Tomás de Torquemada grows, so does the brutality of the Spanish church and the suspicion and paranoia it inspires. When a dear friend’s demise brings the violence close to home, Santángel is enraged and takes retribution into his own hands. But he is from a family of conversos, and his Jewish heritage makes him an easy target. As Santángel witnesses the horrific persecution of his loved ones, he begins slowly to reconnect with the Jewish faith his family left behind. Feeding his curiosity about his past is his growing love for Judith Migdal, a clever and beautiful Jewish woman navigating the mounting tensions in Granada. While he struggles to decide what his reputation is worth and what he can sacrifice, one man offers him a chance he thought he’d lost…the chance to hope for a better world. Christopher Columbus has plans to discover a route to paradise, and only Luis de Santángel can help him. Within the dramatic story lies a subtle, insightful examination of the crisis of faith at the heart of the Spanish Inquisition. Irresolvable conflict rages within the conversos in By Fire, By Water, torn between the religion they left behind and the conversion meant to ensure their safety. In this story of love, God, faith, and torture, fifteenth-century Spain comes to dazzling, engrossing life.
