When sword-for-hire Teodoro Ciéza de Vivar allows a percentage to "rescue" Lord Religious Blackwood from unsuitable influences, he has no idea he's arrived himself in the center of a storyline to assassinate Ruler Philip IV of Spain and blame the British ambassador for the deed. Nor does he expect the spoiled child he's sent to retrieve to be always a handsome, engaging son. As Teodoro and Religious face down enemies at every change, they fall more and more in love, an emotion they can't easily indulge with the risk of the Inquisition looming over them. It will take all their merged guile and affect to outmaneuver the powerful men who see them segregated...or even killed.
