El monasterio de la rosa negra / The Monastery Of The Black Rose

Power is forged in the shadows and paid for in silence.

In the harsh winter of Burgos in the year 1200, the Monastery of Santa María la Real stands as a bastion of power, intrigue, and dark secrets. Under the Machiavellian leadership of Abbess Doña Elvira—a woman whose ambition defies the rigid norms of her time—stories of political manipulation, covert murders, and unexpected alliances intertwine.

When the discovery of a corpse coincides with the arrival of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine, tension turns the walls of the monastery and the royal hospital into the scene of a struggle for survival. In an ambience of betrayal, the mysterious past of the Sicilian doctor Beatrice reveals a world where the knowledge and cunning are weapons far more dangerous than the sword.

A fascinating historical thriller that explores the limits of female power and the complex dynamics between politics, religion, and medicine in the Middle Ages.
