The second swashbuckling adventure in the internationally acclaimed
Captain Alatriste series
Captain Alatriste, Madrid's most charismatic swashbuckler,
returns in Perez-Reverte's acclaimed international bestseller. The
fearless Alatriste is hired to infiltrate a convent and rescue a
young girl forced to serve as a powerful priest's concubine. The
girl's father is barred from legal recourse as the priest threatens
to reveal that the man's family is "not of pure blood" and is, in
fact, of Jewish descent--which will all but destroy the family
name. As Alatriste struggles to save the young hostage from being
burned at the stake, he soon finds himself drawn deeper and deeper
into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the heart of the
Spanish Inquisition. A literary thriller that delivers adventure
and rich historical detail, "Purity of Blood" captivates to the
final page.
