ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A YOUNG FOREIGNER. A RUTHLESS COURT. AN INVISIBLE THREAT.

13th century.

A fascinating novel woven from secrets, alliances and betrayals, which reveals the power of medieval women and the battles they fought behind castle walls.

1275. Mathilde, the illegitimate daughter of a French count, marries Don Pedro de Lara, a powerful duke of Castile. Upon leaving her homeland and the refined French court, the young woman must adapt to her husband's cold castle, in a kingdom besieged by a succession crisis and a war to which her husband must march.

Barely speaking a word of Castilian, Mathilde finds herself alone in the vast stone chambers that are now her home, haunted by the elderly dowager duchess and her shadowy maids. Soon she will begin to feel that the shadow of Don Pedro's former wife, who died under strange circumstances, looms over her...

With this dazzling novel brimming with mystery, intrigue, and passion, Andrea D. Morales transports us to the dangerous court of Alfonso X and to a world as fascinating as it is unknown: that of the medieval ladies who ruled over their lands and vassals while the men fought in war.

BEHIND THE CASTLE WALLS, NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS.
