El último Trastámara

Ferdinand the Catholic gazes into the mirror of time. Old, lucid, and still with the pulse of pride coursing through his veins, he retraces the steps that led him to build an empire and unknowingly become the last king of his line. In his memory mingle the din of battles, the agreements sealed in the shadows, the victories that shook Europe… and the faces of those who paid the price. From the courtyards of the Aljafería Palace to the fields of Granada, the monarch questions himself. Between reason of state and the beating of his heart. Between glory and guilt. Between duty and faith. And as his memories unfold, the man emerges from beneath the king: the husband, the strategist, the believer, the one who loved, the one who doubted, the one who feared he had not done enough. With rich and vibrant prose, Salvador Rus Rufino gives voice back to Ferdinand in his final hour, when there is no one left to convince. His story is that of a man who held in his hands the fate of a world that was ending… and who, in the end, understood that power is not in commanding, but in accepting the passage of time.
