Queen of Swords (2000)

Season 1: Episode 1

While attending school in Madrid (and receiving fencing lessons on the side), Tessa Alvarado learns of her father's death and leaves immediately for her hacienda in California. Upon arriving, she discovers her father had been murdered and the peons starving because of the policies of the local tyrant with the connivance of the wealthy landowners. In a dream, she is visited by the ghost of her father who encourages her to seek justice for the oppressed and avenge his death. Through her servant's tarot cards, Tessa discovers it is her fate to use her skill as a fencer to become the vigilante, "The Queen of Swords".
