In 1556, Catherine de' Medici seeks the head of the magician Menander, capable of granting any wish to its possessor in exchange for their soul, to remove the mistress of King Henry II. Nostradamus, the queen's astrologer, discovers the threat and tries to stop her, but the greed of the young poet Sibille Artaud de la Roque complicates his plans.
The original title is The Master of All Desires, published in 1999. The Spanish translation is by Josefina Guerrero.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction with elements of fantasy and romance, with intrigues in the sixteenth-century French court.
