«Corona de sangre» is the historical novel by José Luis Corral, published by Ediciones B in hardback (408 pages, in Spanish).
In 1350, after the death of Alfonso XI from the Black Death during the siege of Gibraltar, his son Pedro, a fifteen-year-old youth, is crowned king of Castile and León. Driven by the vengeance of his mother, María of Portugal, and threatened by his half-brother Enrique de Trastámara, his reign unleashes a wave of violence and betrayals affecting the kingdoms of Castile and León, Portugal, Granada, and the Crown of Aragon.
Second installment of the historical duology begun with «Matar al rey», portraying the Spanish 14th century and the controversial reign of Pedro I of Castile.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and for those seeking a narrative about the most violent era in the history of Spain, written by an author specialized in the medieval period.
