Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Diego leaves Barcelona with Juliana, Isabel, and Nuria, planning to travel to California from La Curaña. To avoid detection, the four disguise themselves as pilgrims on their way to the site of Santiago de Compostela. They meet with several misadventures and, one night, are nearly robbed by two peasants. Eventually, they meet the Romani whom Diego and Bernardo rescued. The Romani, grateful to Diego for his kindness in Barcelona, allow the fugitives to travel with them, thus easing some of their hardships. During the trip, one of the Romani forges a new sword for Diego, which Diego names Justine “because it will always serve just causes” (263).
At Compostela, Diego meets Galileo Tempesta, a sailor who taught him to perform magic tricks on his voyage to Spain five years before. Tempesta takes Diego to Captain Santiago de León, who agrees to let the group stowaway aboard his ship when he realizes that both he and Diego are members of La Justicia.
