La reina sin reino

With Waiting for the King, his first novel, Peridis achieved more than notable critical and public success. The keys to his achievement were to tell, in a close and personal way, a fascinating episode in medieval history. That is also the formula of The Curse of Queen Eleanor and The Queen without a Kingdom, with which she closes her trilogy on the Reconquest, which can be read completely independently.The action begins with the death of Alfonso VIII, who leaves as an heir to a twelve-year-old boy, Enrique, who, shortly after, dies in a strange accident and leaves the throne vacant. A moment that Berenguela, Alfonso's first-born and Enrique's sister, was waiting to affirm her position and place her eldest son, Fernando, just a teenager, on the throne.This movement will unleash both oppositions and accessions that Berenguela will always know how to handle in favor of the dynasty and her son, who will be destined to complete the Reconquest.
