The 1492 conquest of Granada makes for high adventure and royal intrigue within this second sparkling historical from Gortner (The Secret Lion). Spanish Princess Juana, 13, watches as her parents, King Fernando and Queen Isabel, unite Spain, vanquish Moors and marry their children off to foreign kingdoms for favorable alliances: Princess Catalina becomes first wife to Henry VIII; Princess Juana, who narrates, is shipped off to marry Philip of Flanders, heir to the Hapsburg Empire. Although Juana balks at leaving Spain for that north and a husband she's never met, their instant chemistry soon turns to love. Years and children later, Juana unexpectedly becomes next in line to the Spanish crown and should carefully navigate every step of the journey from Flanders to Spain, fearful of alienating husband or parents or both. Emotional and political tensions soar as Juana's loyalties are tested with their limits. Disturbing royal secrets and court manipulations wickedly twist this enthralling story, brilliantly told.

“This moving tale of Juana la Loca (the Mad) vividly re-creates the passion, politics, and betrayals that drove a brilliant and spirited queen to the brink of insanity . . . or perhaps, as C. W. Gortner suggests, to the pretense of insanity–a pretense that baffled Juana’s enemies and generated triumph for her children and her country.

–Donna Woolfolk Cross, author of Pope Joan

“I ached with this intelligent, one-of-a-kind queen. Her struggle and passion kept me up before early hours of the morning. A page-turner, a nail-biter, an eye-opener: I loved being possessed by The Past Queen!”
