Although forcibly baptized, the sisters are chased through Christendom until they arrive in Venice.

Isabel intends for her family to go to Istanbul, the only place where Jews can live freely, but Clara is reluctant to leave. She challenges Isabel’s authority and is prepared to break her family ties and sacrifice her faith for love. Caught in this battle of wills is Clara’s daughter, Victoria, who finds she is about to be married into the same faith that murdered her father.
