About this listen
-"HAMMER THE SYSTEM, KILL THE SYSTEM."
-Men, women, and children in white hoods and robes. Swaying to the beat of drums. Is she a terrorist?
-A priest betrayed. A bloody hammer. What has the king done?
A woman attends a secret meeting in a 500-year-old dungeon beneath the streets of Madrid. There, her leader gives her both a symbol and a tool to destroy the people they hate.
This object teaches her the story of Matías Vinuesa, a mercenary priest in cahoots with King Ferdinand 7th whose tragic fate played a pivotal role in ending the trienio liberal progressive government and ushered in the década ominosa of political absolutism in 19th-century Spain. It all has to do with a bloody hammer.
And somehow, the Americans.
Both our characters pay the highest price for betrayal.
