About the Book

Una apasionante novela sobre el fin del reino visigodo y los inicios de la conquista musulmana de la península ibérica. Yeyo Balbás nos regala una recreación magistral llena de épica y personajes extraordinarios.

Ante un imperio con ansias de conquista y un reino envenenado de enemistades y traiciones, ha llegado el momento de empuñar las armas.

711 Anno Domini. Tras la muerte de Witiza, rey de los godos, y la minoría de edad de su heredero, Rodrigo, duque de la Bética, será el elegido para el trono. Deberá enfrentarse a la ruptura de la alianza entre los dos grandes linajes visigodos y a la peste y el hambre que asolan el país. Junto a él, se encontrará Fruela, hijo menor del conde Pedro de Cantabria, que se verá envuelto en las disputas dinásticas entre las diferentes facciones nobiliarias.

Ante la inminente llegada del imperio islámico a las columnas de Hércules para imponer el yihad, Fruela deberá acompañar a Rodrigo al extremo sur del reino, donde se decidirá el destino de Spania.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An exciting novel about the end of the Visigothic Kingdom and the beginnings of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Yeyo Balbás gives us a masterful recreation full of epic and extraordinary characters.

Ahead of an empire eager for conquest and a kingdom poisoned by enemies and betrayals, the time has come to take up arms.

711 AD. After the death of Wittiza, king of the Goths, and the rightful heir being underage, Roderic, Duke of Baetica, will be the chosen one for the throne. He must then face the break in alliance between the two great Visigoth lineages, the plague, and hunger that ravages the entire country. Next to him, we find Fruela, youngest son to Peter Duke of Cantabria, who will be involved in the imperial disputes between the different groups of nobles.

Before the imminent arrival of the Islamic Empire to the Pillars of Hercules to impose jihad, Fruela must accompany Roderic to the southern end of the kingdom, where the fate of Spania will be decided.
