The year: 1468. It is a pivotal moment in the history of Castille. Alfonso of Trastámara has died under suspicious circumstances and Henry IV rises as king, forcing his stepsister Isabella—the only one who could oppose his plans—to make peace. She accepts, since she is destined to become Isabella the Catholic and knows that great matches are not won on the first move. While court affairs keep the realm on edge, the mysterious murder of a nobleman fortuitously brings together Gadea--a young woman with a passion for chess harboring a dark past--and Ruy, a chronicler who loves books and history. Their dangerous race against the clock to find the culprit intersects with the conspiracies and wars within Isabellas court, a woman who knew how to move masterfully across the board during her rule, forever transforming the figure of the queen in chess. Luis Zueco delivers his most ambitious novel yet. Full of intrigue and excitement, the author immerses us in the court of Isabella I of Castille at a time when the figure of the queen--as much in the game as in history--first became the most powerful of all.
