Sombras en la corte

In 17th-century Spain, Madrid is not only the capital of the Empire, but also the stage for unbridled passions, betrayals, and crimes shrouded in the fog of ambition and power. While the Duke of Lerma pulls the strings of power with his political machinations and insatiable ambition, a true love story unfolds in the shadows between a noblewoman and a commoner: Brianda and Sebastián. Palace intrigues, conspiracies, lust, contract killings, and forbidden relationships weave the tapestry of a captivating novel that recreates in detail the harshness and splendor of Habsburg Spain, where love is the true essence of life, smoothing its rough edges and sowing hope in hearts. Pablo Diez has crafted a tale where love and death playfully seduce one another.
