Un rey obsesionado con el tiempo y la muerte. Una reina dispuesta a todo por el futuro de sus hijos. Una relación marcada por la lujuria, el temor y la intriga. Abrumado por el peso de una corona que nunca deseó, Felipe V encuentra en Isabel de Farnesio, su segunda esposa, a una mujer inteligente y ambiciosa, además de a una ávida cómplice en sus escandalosos juegos de cama.
Pero ni siquiera la reina puede vencer los enormes miedos y ataques de melancolía que asaltan a Felipe cada vez con más frecuencia. El rey vive acosado por las sospechas de que una maldición se cierne sobre su figura y sobre su dinastía, la de los Borbones. Cuando la obsesión empieza a hacer mella en su ánimo, acaba por convencerse de que solo su abdicación podrá salvar a España, y a sí mismo, del abismo del caos.
Con su magistral sensibilidad narrativa, Mari Pau Domínguez nos abre la puerta de las alcobas reales para mostrarnos la atrevida intimidad del primer rey Borbón y su compleja relación con el destino que habían marcado para él.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Mari Pau Domínguez returns to reveal the most intimate secrets of history’s protagonists in this novel about Philip V, the first Bourbon who reigned in Spain, and the woman who was at his side in bed and on the throne.
A captivating, scandalous, and fascinating novel.
A king obsessed with time and death. A queen willing to do anything for her children’s future. A relationship marked by lust, fear, and intrigue.
Overwhelmed by the weight of a crown he never wanted, Philip V finds in Isabella Farnese, his second wife, an intelligent and ambitious woman, as well as an avid accomplice in his scandalous bedroom games.
But not even the queen can conquer the enormous fears and depression that attack Philip with increasing frequency. The king lives obsessed by the suspicion that a curse is hovering over himself and his Bourbon dynasty.
When the obsession starts to affect his mood, he winds up convincing himself that only by abdicating the throne can he save Spain and himself from the abyss of chaos.
