La infanta María de Avís, la mujer más rica de Portugal, agoniza en Lisboa. Mientras llega su última hora, rememora su vida, una sucesión de intrigas palaciegas y políticas que frustraron uno tras otro sus compromisos matrimoniales y, sobre todo, su gran historia de amor. Lejos de allí, en el poderoso monasterio de Santa María de Flor da Rosa, se producen varios crímenes. Las investigaciones de fray Atilio los relacionarán con la muerte de una joven herbolaria y el nacimiento de una niña con una marca en forma de mariposa. Esa criatura crecerá con la familia de un médico judío perseguido por la Inquisición, y tiempo después se convertirá en la brillante ayudante de Nuno, el boticario, hasta que un Avís se cruce en su camino. es un vívido relato sembrado de traición y luchas de poder, de amores prohibidos y muertes misteriosas. Una novela sobre el destino de mujeres nobles y de mujeres humildes, instrumentos todas ellas en manos de los poderosos. Princess María de Avís, the richest woman in Portugal, is dying in Lisbon. As her last hour arrives, she recalls her life, a succession of palace and political intrigues that one after another frustrated her marriage commitments and, above all, her great love story. Far from there, in the powerful monastery of Santa Maria de Flor da Rosa, various crimes take place. Fray Atilio's investigations will connect them to the death of a young herbalist and the birth of a girl with a mark in the shape of a butterfly. That creature will grow up with the family of a Jewish doctor persecuted by the Inquisition, and later she will become the brilliant assistant of Nuno, the apothecary, until an Avis crosses her path. a vivid story strewn with betrayal and power struggles, forbidden love, and mysterious deaths. A novel about the fate of noble women and humble women, all instruments in the hands of the powerful.
