Patricio de la Escosura's sequel throws us back into the heart of medieval Spain's civil war. The kingdom is fractured, with Queen Urraca's son, Alfonso VII, fighting to secure his throne against his own mother and a host of rival nobles. The fictional Count of Candespina, our central figure, is caught in this storm, forced to navigate shifting alliances where today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy.
Why You Should Read It
What makes this book stick with you isn't just the history—it's the people. Escosura has a knack for writing characters who feel real. The Count isn't a perfect hero; he's a man making tough, often morally grey, decisions to survive and protect what's his. You get a front-row seat to the personal cost of ambition and the weight of leadership. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every major historical event were individuals with fears, desires, and everything to lose.
Final Verdict
This is a must-read for anyone who thinks historical fiction is stuffy. It’s perfect for fans of detailed period settings who also crave a character-driven plot full of tension and political maneuvering. Just be sure to read the first volume to get the full, gripping story. Escosura delivers a satisfying and thought-provoking conclusion to a turbulent chapter of Spain's past.
