About This Book

The narrative moves between courtly council and military action as a regent balances statecraft, personal care, and preparations for war while protecting an ailing young queen. A European medic and a Portuguese priest offer treatment and counsel, and loyal officers lead rapid marches, successful surprises, and daring attacks that bring both peril and deliverance. Scenes alternate between public durbars and private balconies, revealing alliances, cultural encounters, religious consolation, and domestic tenderness. The plot interweaves political strategy and personal loyalty to depict how duty, faith, and medicine shape responses to illness, siege, and shifting fortunes.
