As a result of the different series broadcast on television about the Catholic Monarchs, historical novels have been arriving that address some period of their reign. Welcome then. As long as a visual trend ends up leading to new history books, it will have been for the better.
This time everything starts from the traumatic death of Isabel la Católica on November 26, 1504. Personally traumatic, without a doubt, but also politically painful.
With the inheritance of the Crown determined in Juana la loca, the young woman finds herself in a crossroads for which she does not always find sufficient strength.
A woman like Juana, disengaged from power and devoted to her love turned on by Felipe de Habsburgo, discovers how everyone, including Felipe, conspires to try to do without her in that Crown to be achieved.
Poor Juana faces constant manipulative attacks from her husband and also from her father, Fernando el Católico. And the rest of the historical figures involved, the highest echelons of the nobility, the church and the rest of the monarchies are not lagging behind in the search for the best solution for their interests.
Juana as a spinning top, possibly a woman unable to perform her role. But she knows she is the rightful heir, and she plans to fulfill her responsibility to extend her mother's legacy, entrusted to her hands.
Political tensions that affected all of Europe and that determined the political and social evolution of Spain mainly but also of Portugal, as well as of many other countries in Europe.
