ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE POWER IS IN THE BLOOD.

"GAME OF THRONES IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE INTRIGUES AND VIOLENCE IN CASTILLE, IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY." --JOS� LUIS CORRAL

1312. Rivers of blood run through the kingdom of Castille and Leon after the death of Ferdinand IV, when his son and heir, Alfonso XI, is but a year old. While noblemen and members of the court embroil in a terrible fight to make themselves with the throne, only Mar�a de Molina and Constanza of Portugal, Alfonso's grandmother and mother, will protect him, spinning an intricate web of intrigue and alliances to keep the crown everyone covets.

This novel is the first of two installments where renowned medievalist and writer Jos� Luis Corral addresses the rules of Alfonso XI, The Just, and of his son, Pedro I of Castille, The Cruel. Forbidden romance, poisonous pacts, a thirst for justice, and ruthless men give life to this fascinating tale.

With overflowing narrative power, To Kill the King captures the spirit of the bloodiest and most vicious century in Spanish history.
