Os Venenos da Coroa

Maurice Druon’s detailed depiction of court intrigue and power struggles adds so much depth to the story. I wonder what sources or research influenced these vivid scenes.

The way loyalties shift and secrets unfold made me think about how politics can be just as ruthless today. Was this tension intentional to mirror modern power plays?

The story’s intensity comes from the scheming and betrayal, but I’m curious whether the author aimed to highlight the complexities of leadership and morality.
