A historical novel about Joanna of Castile (Joanna the Mad), of the sort that takes historically known facts and fills them out with the author’s own additions. The work is entertaining, although events are described rather differently from what is traditionally the case; so the protagonist herself, as well as Ferdinand II and Cisneros, are portrayed very differently from how they are normally held to have been. It has a number of rather descriptive sexual passages.
