About the Book

PARA CONQUISTAR LA CORONA, HAY QUE CAMBIAR LAS REGLAS DEL JUEGO.

Año 1468. Castilla se encuentra en un momento crucial de su historia. Alfonso de Trastámara ha muerto en sospechosas circunstancias y Enrique IV se alza como rey obligando a su hermanastra Isabel, la única que podría oponerse a sus planes, a firmar la paz. Ella acepta, pues está destinada a convertirse en Isabel la Católica y sabe que las grandes partidas no se ganan en el primer movimiento.

Mientras los asuntos de la Corte tienen al reino en vilo, el misterioso asesinato de un noble une fortuitamente a Gadea, una joven apasionada del ajedrez que esconde un oscuro pasado, y a Ruy, un cronista amante de la Historia y los libros. La peligrosa carrera contrarreloj de ambos para descubrir al culpable se entrelaza con las conspiraciones y las guerras de la Corte de Isabel, quien durante su mandato supo moverse como una maestra en el tablero y transformó para siempre la figura de la reina en el ajedrez.

Luis Zueco firma su novela más ambiciosa, llena de emoción e intriga, y nos sumerge en la Corte de Isabel I de Castilla, cuando la figura de la reina, tanto en el juego como en la Historia, se convirtió por primera vez en la más poderosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

TO CONQUER THE CROWN, YOU MUST CHANGE THE RULES OF THE GAME.

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 Isabella's 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.

About the Author: Luis Zueco (Borja, Zaragoza, 1979) es director de los Castillos de Grisel y de Bulbuente, dos fortalezas restauradas y habilitadas como alojamientos con encanto y como sede de eventos. Además, es ingeniero industrial, licenciado en Historia y máster en Investigación Artística e Histórica, miembro de la Asociación Española de Amigos de los Castillos y colaborador, como experto en patrimonio y cultura, en diversos medios de comunicación.
