La primera mestiza

Madrid, 1597. Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, the first mestizo noblewoman in Peru, heiress to the two prevailing and conflicting forces, one of the most powerful and richest women of the time, begins to write in her own handwriting the hidden story of her long and eventful existence, in a confession addressed to those who will have to judge and defend their mestizo memory. From his childhood in Lima, when he was only seven years old when he had to flee to save his life and that of his brother after the brutal murder of his father, to his days in the court of Felipe II, la Mestiza, a succulent piece on the checkerboard of the Conquest, will narrate an existence that runs between the desire to be free and the dictates of the Pizarro family name and the maternal imperial lineage. A fight to safeguard what she loves and recover what rightfully belonged to her, in which the fierceness of love acquires an extraordinary dimension. Her soul, hardened in the noise of war, had to face the end of what her father had achieved with the arrival of the despotic first viceroy of Peru, beginning a personal crusade full of betrayals, brutality, terrible losses, and a doomed love
