Overview
Matteo Strukul vuelve a sorprendernos con una historia llena de tensión, adrenalina y misterio con un retrato exquisito de los personajes y de la Francia del siglo XVII.
El París del siglo XVII se sostiene sobre los pilares del vicio y la violencia. María de Médici, la reciente esposa de Enrique IV de Borbón, tiene que enfrentarse, nada más llegar a la corte, a la inquina de la favorita del rey, Henriette d'Entragues, quien no ha superado el que no pudiera convertirse en reina de Francia. Pero Henriette es el menor de los problemas de la joven reina consorte.
Obligada a luchar contra la ambición de poder de la aristocracia y a salvaguardar el trono de las constantes conspiraciones, María de Médici se convertirá en una inteligente estratega política y una hábil y valiente defensora de sus derechos, máxime cuando la eterna sombra conspiratoria acabe con la vida de Enrique IV y convierta a María en reina regente de su hijo Luis XIII. En el cardenal Richelieu encontrará un feroz aliado, antes de que la oscura traición se cierna sobre ella y acabe con sus días de gloria y poder.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Conspiracy, betrayal, political corruption under the roof of the French aristocracy.
Matteo Strukul returns to surprise us with a story charged with tension, adrenaline, and mystery, an exquisite portrait of his characters and seventeenth-century France.
Paris in the XVII century stands on the pillars of vice and violence. Maria of Medici, Henry IV of Bourbon’s new bride, must face—upon arriving to court—the malice of the king’s favorite, Henriette d’Entragues, who cannot get over not becoming Queen of France. But Henriette is the least of the young Queen Consort’s problems.
Forced to fight the lust for power within the aristocracy and safekeep the throne from constant conspiracies, Maria of Medici will become a bright political strategist and a cunning and brave defender of her own rights, especially when the everlasting shadow of conspiracy ends Henry IV’s life and makes Maria Queen Regent to her son Louis XIII. She will find a fearsome ally in Cardenal Richelieu until dark betrayals loom over her and put an end to her days of power and glory.
