The Leiden Belle

1544. Cozy Holland, home of ice skates, tulips and windmills, is plunged into darkness - Catholics and Protestants live here side by side, building invisible but very strong walls day by day. Today you meet your neighbor with a glass in your hand, and tomorrow - with a sword. The country, like the rest of Europe, is in the throes of the Reformation. The opposing Spanish Inquisition is skillfully fueling its fires by rewarding local informers and spies with ringing florins or a bath in an ice-hole. Depends on the circumstances.
In the hour before sunset, on Christmas Eve, the heiress of the rich shipowner van Hout becomes a stumbling block, the unwitting cause of two irreconcilable conflicts that will turn her whole life. The next volume of the series "Masters of Adventure" includes a historical-adventurous novel by Haggard "Leiden Beauty", the action of which develops in a turbulent era of religious wars.
