Generated by AI · Cover art generated by AI
On a cold November afternoon, Dolores de Mendoza reread a long secret letter in a narrow room of King Philip's palace. I hear your pen again, and I know every page is meant for Don John. You step into this one-chapter preview with Inez de Mendoza at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. He is here, Dolores, and tonight every hidden heart in this palace will have to keep its own counsel. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
