In 1492 King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain expelled the Jews from their country. Many fled east, becoming Sephardic Jews, while others sought solace in Spain's Iberian neighbor, Portugal. The Spanish monarchs demanded their Portuguese colleague follow their example --- they even offered their daughter's hand in marriage as an incentive. At the last moment, in 1497, King Manuel of Portugal decided instead to close the borders to his Jewish subjects and to inflict upon them a forced conversion to Christianity. Now known as New Christians, to distinguish them from Old Christians, many former Jews risked their lives to practice their religion in secret. Nine years later, while suffering from the effects of drought and plague, the Old Christian citizens of Lisbon, Portugal's capital city, rampaged against their New Christian neighbors and rounded them up for a bonfire to appease God's anger, thrusting the city into chaos and turmoil. Against this backdrop, young Berekiah Zarco (New Christian name: Pedro) seeks the murderer of his Uncle Abraham, a master of the Jewish form of mysticism called Kabbalah.
