Her own mother died in mysterious circumstances while trying to uncover its secrets and Alex is troubled by memories of her own encounter as a child with the girl in the painting—the Infanta Margarita—who continues to haunt her. Alex must take up her mother's work and find evidence to uncover the truths within the canvas

Story
Aber die Inquisition, welche jetzt gemeint ist, kam aus dem Westen von Europa, anders in ihrem Ursprung und anders an Gestalt. Der letzte maurische Thron war im fünfzehnten Jahrhundert in Granada gefallen und der saracenische Gottesdienst endlich dem überlegenen Glück der Christen gewichen. Aber neu und noch wenig befestigt war das Evangelium in diesem jüngsten christlichen Königreich, und in der trüben Mischung ungleichartiger Gesetze und Sitten hatten sich die Religionen noch nicht geschieden.

Story
London was a tinderbox waiting to ignite. An unusually hot and dry summer had drained the city’s water supplies, and without an organized firefighting force, its citizens were left to fend for themselves. The stage was set for catastrophe, and in the early hours of Sunday, September 2, 1666, the spark was struck. A seemingly inconsequential fire ignited in a baker’s shop on Pudding Lane. Unchecked and underestimated, it would grow to become one of the most devastating disasters London had ever faced.

Story
In 1678, a handful of perjurers claimed that the Catholics of England planned to assassinate the king. Men like the "Reverend Doctor" Titus Oates and "Captain" William Bedloe parlayed their fantastical tales of Irish ruffians, medical poisoners, and silver bullets into public adulation and government pensions. The result was the trial and execution of over a dozen innocent Catholics, and the imprisonment of many more, some of whom died in custody. Victor Stater examines the Popish Plot in full, arguing that it had a profound and lasting significance on British politics.

Story
The outcome of the English Civil War was no doubt unthinkable to many across Europe before it actually happened, and the Battle of Edgehill represented the first sign that things might not go according to the typical plan. That year, the unthinkable happened when the king and Parliament broke with each other, raising their standards of war. The divinely appointed order was broken, and the result was bloodshed, terror, and chaos. Most notably, Edgehill would make clear that things might not simply go the king’s way.

Story
Peter von Scholten, generalguvernør på De Vestindiske Øer gennem mere end tyve år, var i alt, han gjorde, drevet af kærlighed: kærlighed til kvinder, til penge og magt, til øerne og deres sorte befolkning. Men den mand, der i 1848 endelig satte danskernes slaver fri, var og forbliver et mysterium. Hvordan kan man forklare Peter von Scholtens usandsynlige lynkarriere fra ydmyg vejermester i Charlotte Amalie på St. Thomas til den mægtigste post i Dansk Vestindien? Hvorfra stammede hans nære forhold til kong Frederik den 6.
