Rebecca Lopez is the beautiful, fiery daughter of Roderico Lopez. Queen Elizabeth's own physician. On the surface, Rebecca and her family are good and loyal Protestant subjects of the crown. But the Lopezes are Jews who practice their illegal religion in secret-and help smuggle in other Jews from Portugal, where the Inquisition rules the land.
