The year is 1184 and Castile is experiencing a time of prosperity and peace under the reign of Alfonso VIII and Eleanor of England. However, the queen fails to give birth to a male heir, which leads her to believe that her misfortune is divine punishment for the king's adulterous love with Rachel, a beautiful Jew from Toledo. Consumed by jealousy and anger, Eleanor plots a revenge that will have unexpected consequences. This story spans the thirty most important years of the Spanish Middle Ages, showing the ties with the European courts and the rivalries between the Christian kingdoms during the Reconquest. Peridis, with his narrative skill, brings to life fascinating and unknown characters from the historical chronicle.
