Escondidas tras los mitos de sus hermanas Juana la Loca y Catalina de Aragón, reina de Inglaterra, Isabel y María son, posiblemente, las más desconocidas de las hijas de los Reyes Católicos. Sin embargo, ambas compartieron trono con uno de los monarcas mas importantes de su tiempo Manuel I de Portugal, bien llamado el Afortunado. Autenticos pilares de la corona, gracias a la politica matrimonial de los Reyes Catolicos, Isabel, Maria, Juana y Catalina fueron tambien cuatro mujeres de carne y hueso que se sometieron resignadas a su papel de peon de los intereses politicos de sus padres. Y otro tanto le sucedio a Leonor la refinada princesa flamenca, hija de Juana la Loca y Felipe el Hermoso, moneda de cambio al servicio de su hermano el Emperador Carlos V. Las damas del rey tiene como eje narrativo a las tres esposas de Manuel I el Afortunado: Isabel, digna heredera de la Castilla medieval austera y piadosa; Maria, discreta y generosa y Leonor, sobrina de las anteriores, hermosa y culta. Pero no son las unicas protagonistas. Las cartas que Isabel y Maria cruzan con sus hermanas, Juana y Catalina, o las que Leonor dirige a su tia Margarita de Austria, gobernadora general de los Paises Bajos, se convierten en el vehiculo idoneo para conocer no solo el tragico destino de las hijas y nietas de los Reyes Catolicos, sino para recorrer los intrincados caminos de una Europa que se abria a nuevos territorios, se debatia en la controversia religiosa iniciada por Lutero, y se disponia a encarar una nueva era.
