Set in the 15th century, this historical novel tells the life of María Esperanza, the illegitimate daughter of King Fernando el Católico. Having become an abbess, she receives a papal brief that recognizes her royal origin, which prompts her to search for her mother, Toda de Larrea. Her search takes her back to Bilbao, where she discovers secrets about her birth and her family, including Juana la Loca and other half-siblings. Through intrigues and discoveries, María Esperanza struggles to find her identity and the maternal love that was denied to her.
