Summary

Este libro relata la verdadera historia del segundo imperio mexicano, el de Maximiliano de Habsburgo, y sigue las pistas a lo largo de dos siglos para encontrar a su heredero al trono.

Una novela de suspenso histórico que parte de hechos reales poco conocidos.

¿A qué vino Maximiliano a México? ¿Carlota realmente se volvió loca y fue envenenada, como ella misma lo afirmó? ¿Por qué los Estados Unidos amenazaron a Francia para que expulsara a Maximiliano?.

Este libro revela la parte oculta de la historia de Maximiliano de Habsburgo: su pasado borrado, las traiciones y manipulaciones de las que fue objeto, y el verdadero propósito detrás de su brevísimo imperio. Además, explora una posibilidad escalofriante: ¿qué ocurriría si su único y distante heredero fuera hoy llamado por un grupo de mexicanos inconformes con la democracia para restablecer el imperio que se vio truncado por la Reforma? 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This book tells the true story of the Second Mexican Empire, that of Maximilian of Habsburg, and follows the clues throughout two centuries to find his heir to the throne.

A novel of historical suspense that begins with real, little-known facts.
 
¿Why did Maximilian come to Mexico? Did Carlota really go crazy and was she poisoned, as she claimed? Why did the United States threaten France so they would exile Maximilian?

This book reveals the hidden side of Maximilian of Habsburg: his missing past, the betrayals and manipulation he was subjected to, and the true purpose behind his short empire. It also explores a chilling possibility: what would happen if his only distant heir was called up today by a group of dissident Mexicans to re-establish the empire that was cut short by the Reformation?
