Pursuing a secret commission for the English Queen Henrietta Maria in the Spanish royal court, Alina, Baroness Metherall, also faces challenges and dangers, and tries to come to terms with what it means to be married to one person and love another.

Ultimately, Ludo and Alina have to decide who they really are, and to what extent they should let the past and powerful people influence their future.
