ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A life-long fight for the throne.
A battle between kings in which a queen will rise.

1100 a. D. The turbulent line of succession of the kingdoms of Le n, Castile, and Galicia forces Do a Urraca de Zamora--sister and right-hand of King Alfonso VI--to ensure Princess Urraca's future, her niece, whom the ruler kept from the throne in favor of his younger son, Sancho Alf nsez.

However, the royal counselor will not allow it and decides to charge Lisarda, a young astute courtesan of few means, to plot in court with the purpose of crowning her prot g as queen in her full right against the will of the King.

Lisarda's task is not easy, but with the help of a mercenary, Petro the Carthaginian, she will soon begin devising a ruse to make kings, nobles, and courtiers fall into her scheme.

In the wake of Aquitaine and The Cook of Castamere, Francisco Sempere introduces us to the inner workings of the court of Le n and tells the story of Urraca the Reckless in a novel full of adventure, intrigue, desire, and power struggles.
