Set in the depths of the medieval Spanish Inquisition, Maya, a young Jewish woman, displays her powerful but destructive mystic abilities, not knowing she bears the legacy of her family's bond to the c bala. She travels to Girona, Catalan to study with her reclusive uncle who, begrudgingly, teaches her, though he knows that only the male lineage carry the gift. A story of the mysticism, history, love, and redemption. (Kabbalah)
