Summary: "O Regicida" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a historical romance written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Domingos Leite Pereira, the son of a cutler, who aspires to transcend his humble beginnings in 17th-century Portugal. Faced with pressures from his parents regarding his career choice and the burden of his family's expectations, Domingos yearns for greater accolades, leading him into a tumultuous life intertwined with music, politics, and scandal, highlighting themes of ambition and betrayal. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Domingos Leite, a young man caught between his family's wishes and his aspirations, who dreams of becoming something greater than a cutler.
