The Queen's Oath

The extraordinary life of Isabella of Castile, an extraordinary woman… The Queen's Vow tells the story of Isabella of Castile, Queen of Spain, one of the most famous and at the same time most controversial figures in history.

A strong-willed woman who united her nation, a staunch believer who initiated the Inquisition, yet was also far-sighted enough to send Christopher Columbus to discover the New World. A story in which successes and weaknesses are intertwined, from the arid plains of Castile to the magnificent palace in Seville and the difficult decade-long conquest of Granada…

CW Gortner poetically recounts the loving relationship between Queen Isabella of Castile, who founded the Spanish Empire, and King Fernando of Aragon, presenting historical events in an engaging way. Wars, alliances, intrigues, and cruelties are conveyed fluently through the eyes of a queen who witnesses all of these.

"A fascinating story… With her imaginative and magical narrative, Gortner's readers learn how Isabella charts a determined course to reach her single and inevitable destiny in body and soul in the complicated age she lives in."
