Isabel San Sebasti???n regresa con una nueva entrega de su ???pico relato de la Reconquista centrado en la Temeraria, la famosa reina Urraca, la primera soberana de pleno derecho en Europa. Siglo XII, Reino de Le???n. En plena ofensiva almor???vide, con la cristiandad acorralada, Urraca, hija de Alfonso VI y leg???tima heredera al trono leon???s, contrae matrimonio con Alfonso I de Arag???n, cumpliendo la ???ltima voluntad de su padre reci???n fallecido. Esas ???malditas bodas??? desatan una lucha sin cuartel ente la soberana y su esposo, el Batallador, empe???ado en usurparle la corona para ejercer un poder que por derecho le pertenece a ella. Narrada a trav???s de los ojos de Muniadona, su doncella m???s cercana, esta novela recrea la azarosa vida de la primera reina de Espa???a y Europa, una mujer maltratada e incluso violada, pero nunca vencida, que se vio obligada a enfrentarse a su marido, a su propio hijo y a todos los prejuicios de su tiempo para ejercer el papel que le hab???a asignado la historia, a menudo vestida de hierro. La nueva obra de Isabel San Sebasti???n es una aventura trepidante plagada de intrigas y traiciones, amores, pasi???n, coraje y lealtad. El retrato veraz y asombroso de una mujer pionera, de extraordinario valor, a quien la maledicencia castig??? con en el apodo de la Temeraria. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Isabel San Sebasti???n returns with the latest installment of her epic tale about the Reconquest of Spain, centered on the Reckless One, the famous Queen Urraca, the first European female sovereign in full right. Twelfth century, Kingdom of Leon. In the throes of the Almoravid offensive, with Christianity cornered, Urraca, daughter of Alfonso VI and legitimate heiress to the throne of Leon, marries Alfonso I of Aragon, fulfilling her dying father's last wish. That "goddamn wedding" sets forth a merciless fight between the sovereign and her husband, the Battler, set on usurping her throne to wield a power that it was rightfully hers. Narrated through the eyes of Muniadona, her closest maid, this novel recreates the hazardous life of the first Spanish and European queen, an abused woman, even raped, but never defeated, forced to stand against her husband, her own son, and all the prejudices of her time to exercise the very role that history had given her, often enough girded with iron. Isabel San Sebasti???n's latest work is a fast-paced adventure riddled with intrigue and betrayal, affairs, passion, courage, and loyalty. The accurate and amazing portrait of a pioneer woman of extraordinary valor, whom malignant gossip nicknamed the Reckless One.
