Revenge, love and betrayal intersect in a fascinating history that has as its background a medieval Barcelona in a historical era marked by religious intolerance and social segregation.

The story takes place at a time when Barcelona lives one of its most prosperous moments: the city has grown towards the riverbank, a humble neighborhood of fishermen in which the largest Marian temple ever known is begun to build: Santa María del Mar.

Arnau Estanyol is a humble servant of the Earth who, fleeing with his father of the abuses of the feudal lords of the countryside, takes refuge in Barcelona and becomes a free man. Arnau will work as a palafrenero, enoughix and soldier. However, a thrilling social ascent will take him out of misery to make him a prosperous man thanks to success in business as a changista. This will awaken the misgivings of their enemies that will warn a plot and put their lives in the hands of the Inquisition.
