Lira, Emma
537, Tenerife island. A group of women, while singing ancient songs, form a circle around a young woman in labor. Their howls echo throughout the valley. Suddenly, there is silence. And one last heartbreaking scream? Among the blankets that should have wrapped a baby, what appears to be a small hand covered in fur appears. Petrus Gonsalvus, a Guanche king, was born. And this is his story ...Rejected by his people, who consider him a demonic being, Petrus ends up at the court of Henry II of France and Catherine de Medici, where he arrives as a gift to the king. There they treat him like a simple pet for real fun. However, the monarch sees in him the brightness of an awake and sensitive intelligence, and decides to welcome him under his protection.Petrus then meets Diana, the king's bastard daughter, who will become his friend, accomplice and confidant. The two will learn to function in court and fight to find their place in that world that marginalizes them. Until Catherine, a beautiful lady-in-waiting to the queen, chosen to be Petrus' wife, crosses her path. He will be forced to make a difficult decision ...
