What can a king do for love?
In 1355, Inês de Castro is executed by order of the King of Portugal.
Two years later, the man who loved her ascends the throne.
This is his story, told in his own voice.
Pedro was born to rule. Raised for duty, politics, and the stability of the kingdom, he understood power as structure and control. But when Inês arrives at court, everything begins to shift.
Love grows in silence.
It becomes scandal.
It becomes threat.
It becomes blood.
Between 1345 and 1367, this novel takes you through:
- A political marriage to Constança of Castile
- A forbidden passion
- The execution in Coimbra
- Relentless vengeance
- The declaration of a secret marriage
- The legend of a posthumous coronation
- The tombs of Alcobaça, placed face to face so they may see each other first on the Day of Judgment
Narrated in the first person, What I Did for Love is an intense and intimate historical novel about Pedro I of Portugal and Inês de Castro-a story of passion, power, justice, and obsession that forever shaped Portuguese memory.
This is not just a novel about the past.
It is a question that echoes across centuries:
How far can love go when it stands against the throne?
If you enjoy historical romance, medieval drama, real-life tragedy, and love stories that defy power, this book is for you.
