Synopsis "El Juego de la Reina / Queen's Gambit (in Spanish)"

La magnífica novela en la que se basa Firebrand, el filme protagonizado por Jude Law y Alicia Vikander. Una apasionante novela histórica sobre los Tudor. La historia de Catalina Parr, la sexta y última esposa de Enrique VIII. Londres, 1543. Cuando Catalina Parr se queda viuda por segunda vez a la edad de 31 años no puede eludir la invitación para instalarse en la corte de Enrique VIII. La acompañan su fiel criada Dot y Meg, la hija de su difunto esposo a la que quiere como si fuera propia. Al poco de llegar se siente irremediablemente atraída por el fascinante Thomas Seymour, un consejero real con quien inicia una apasionada relación clandestina. Pero Catalina no puede evitar las insistentes atenciones del temible y engreído monarca, que ha posado su mirada en ella y ha decidido desposarla. No tiene elección: se convertirá en la sexta esposa del rey de Inglaterra. Es el inicio de una nueva vida en la que, consciente del terrible final de las mujeres que la precedieron en el lecho real, deberá aprender a sortear la irascible naturaleza del monarca y a navegar en una corte lacerada de intrigas, traiciones y sospechas, en la que solo contará con su instinto natural y su inteligencia para sobrevivir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The basis for the upcoming major motion picture Firebrand--whichreveals the tumultuous darker side to the marriages of the notorious King of England, Henry VIII, and the wife who survived. "Smart, sensual, and suspenseful as a thriller, Queen's Gambit is a must-read for Philippa Gregory fans." --People Widowed for the second time at age thirty-one, Katherine Parr falls deeply for the dashing courtier Thomas Seymour and hopes at last to marry for love. Instead, she attracts the amorous attentions of the ailing, egotistical, and dangerously powerful Henry VIII. No one is in a position to refuse a royal proposal. Haunted by the fates of his previous wives--two executions, two annulments, one death in childbirth--Katherine must wed Henry and rely on her wits and the help of her loyal servant Dot to survive the treacherous pitfalls of life as Henry's queen. Yet as she treads the razor's edge of court intrigue, she never quite gives up on love.
