Married at sixteen. A queen at twenty-five. Declared insane and
locked up by the men she adored. Juana "la Loca" - the last true
queen of Spain. Juana - daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella and
sister to Catherine of Aragon - is a woman ruled by her passions.
Her arranged marriage to Philip the Fair of Flanders begins as a
fairytale romance when, despite never having met before their
betrothal, they fall desperately in love. She was never meant to be
more than his consort and mother to his heirs; but, after tragedy
decimates her family, she finds herself heiress to the throne of
Spain. Suddenly Juana is plunged into a ruthless battle of ambition
and treachery, with the future of Spain and her own freedom at
stake. Told in Juana's voice, THE LAST QUEEN is the enthralling and
moving tale of a woman ahead of her time, who fought fiercely for
her birthright in the face of an unimaginable betrayal. Juana's
story is one of history's darkest secrets, brought vividly to life
in this exhilarating novel.
