La marquesa y Bonaparte

Madrid, 1800. A Bonaparte, a marchioness. Diplomacy, intrigue, war, and art. A love that scandalized an entire court. When Luigi Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother, arrives in Madrid as ambassador to Charles IV in December 1800, neither the Spanish court nor he himself imagines that this diplomatic mission will become a political and emotional battleground. While maneuvering through espionage, corruption, and Godoy's ambitions to fulfill Napoleon's plans —to control Spanish politics and prepare for war— Lucigi meets the Marchioness of Santa Cruz, Mariana de Waldstein, a brilliant and enigmatic woman who introduces him to the world of art and collecting alongside Goya. Trapped in a passionless marriage, she will risk her position for a love that defies social codes and the interests of the state.
