Olvido y crueldad
las mujeres del rey Don Pedro
Lozano, Álvaro (1985- )
Pedro I of Castile, a cold and vengeful man, viciously persecuted those who threatened his power. And because of his atrocities we know him as Pedro the Cruel. However, he ended his days at the hands of his own bastard brother, Enrique de Trastámara... But this is not a novel about King Don Pedro, but about his women. Queens who reigned, others who were repudiated and some who ascended the throne after death. This is a story about scoundrels, whores and bastards, about real or imaginary martyrs, about war and plague, about corpses that lead armies and others that are projected into the future uncorrupted. In this novel that you have in your hands, reader, the earth trembles, bodies tremble, revenge is carved in stone and a few heads are lost... Because the fourteenth century was a violent and convulsive time, a time in which sometimes you could win a battle overwhelmingly and, at the same time, lose the war, and also a period where the chronicle becomes legend and is capable of turning certain women into saints or goddesses. And here it is all, in its protagonists.
