«Inês de Portugal» is the historical novel by João Aguiar, published by Leya in paperback (112 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel opens in 1359, when King Pedro I of Portugal waits in Santarém for two of the men involved in the death of Inês de Castro, despite having promised them pardon. From there, it reconstructs the romance between Inês and the infante Pedro and the political conflicts surrounding one of the great legends of Portuguese history.

A read for those who enjoy historical fiction and the legends of Portuguese literature, particularly the myth of Pedro and Inês.
