About this title

Synopsis

100 years, after the expulsion of Spain, Fernand, a young man who lives life in a fragrant ivory tower, believes that life on the straight and narrow, is the only way to keep safe from the Inquisition. Until one day, when he his confronted with a family secret, that threatens to unravel everything he believes, about not only his life, but everyone in it.

The Watchmen series is a poignant work of historical fiction inspired by the hidden resilience of the Converso community following their expulsion from Spain. This series illuminates the secret lives of those who kept their faith alive in the shadows, defying the Inquisition, preserving their identity, and passing on sacred knowledge under a cloak of silence.

Spanning generations and continents, Watchmen traces an underground movement that helped countless Jews escape persecution, while preserving a spiritual legacy threatened with erasure. Through richly drawn characters based on actual players in the Spanish Portuguese, and Dutch Converso movement and lyrical storytelling, The Watchmen brings to life a world of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of return.

This is not just a story of survival: it is a chronicle of resistance, resilience, and the sacred memory that refuses to be forgotten.
