In 1517, amidst a thick fog, a procession heads to receive King Charles I. The regent cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, almost dying, longs to transmit his advice to the young monarch. However, Charles, influenced by his court, avoids the meeting. Francisco Ruiz, Cisneros' secretary, remembers the cardinal's life, full of contradictions, from his origins to his appointments and his role as ruler and diplomat. This rigorous and entertaining historical novel vindicates Cisneros as a public man who understood politics as a service to the people, being considered the third king of Spain after Isabel and Fernando.
