On Friday, March 20th at 7:30 pm , in the Auditorium of the Palencia Public Library, the presentation of the historical novel Shadows at the Court by Pablo Díez Santos will take place.

In 17th-century Spain, Madrid is not only the capital of the empire, but also the stage for unbridled passions, betrayals, and crimes shrouded in the fog of ambition and power. While the Duke of Lerma pulls the strings of power with his political machinations and insatiable ambition, a true love story unfolds in the shadows between a noblewoman and a commoner: Brianda and Sebastián.

Palace intrigues, conspiracies, lust, contract killings, and forbidden relationships weave the tapestry of a captivating novel that recreates in detail the harshness and splendor of Habsburg Spain, where love is the authentic truth of life that smooths its rough edges and sows hope in hearts.

Pablo Diez has created a story where love and death playfully seduce each other. "A story where power and love clash in a labyrinth of passions and betrayals."

Free admission until full capacity.
