In 1537, on the island of Tenerife, a group of women gathers around a young woman in labor. Suddenly, a sepulchral silence is interrupted by a piercing scream. Among the blankets, a small hand covered in hair appears. Thus is born Petrus Gonsalvus, a Guanche king. Rejected by his people, Petrus ends up in the court of Henry II of France and Catherine de Medici, where he is welcomed under the protection of the monarch. There he meets Diana, the king's bastard daughter, who becomes his friend and confidante. Together, they will learn to navigate the court and fight to find their place in a world that marginalizes them, until Catherine, a beautiful lady-in-waiting to the queen, crosses their path, forcing Petrus to make a difficult decision.
