About the Book

Tras la Trilogía de las cenizas de Hispania, José Zoilo despliega el apasionante campo de batalla de uno de los episodios cruciales de la historia de España.

Cuenta la leyenda que el rey Salomón mandó construir un objeto en el que dejaría escrito todo el conocimiento del mundo: una mesa plagada de oro y joyas capaz de colmar con su poder la ambición de quien la poseyera.

Año 711 d. C.: las tropas musulmanas desembarcan por primera vez en el sur de la península Ibérica con un afán imparable de conquista que hasta el momento no ha conocido rival. Sorprendido mientras luchaba en el norte de su territorio, el rey visigodo Roderico debe partir para defender la provincia más meridional de un reino que se enfrenta ahora a demasiados enemigos.

A la vez que los ejércitos se preparan para la lucha y las viejas rencillas comienzan a aflorar entre los nobles godos, un religioso escoltado por una pequeña partida se dirige hacia el campo de batalla portando una reliquia que podría cambiar el curso de la contienda. Es el momento de comprobar si su poder sagrado será suficiente para hacerse con la victoria, o si, por el contrario, terminará convirtiéndose en la perdición del reino.

AUTOR GALARDONADO CON EL I PREMIO DE NOVELA HISTÓRICA DE POZUELO DE ALARCÓN. Jurado compuesto por Isabel San Sebastián, Antonio Pérez Henares, Almudena de Arteaga y Juan Eslava Galán. -«José Zoilo es el gran descubrimiento de la novela histórica española.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After his trilogy The Ashes of Hispania, José Zoilo now narrates the exciting war scenes of the Battle of Guadalete, a crucial event in Spain's history.

Year 711 A.D.: for the first time Muslim troops reach the Iberian Peninsula in the south, and they come with an unstoppable desire to conquer what, until now, had known no rival. Visigoth King Roderico, who was invaded in the south while fighting in the north of his territory, must set out to defend the southernmost province of a kingdom that now faces too many enemies.

As the armies prepare for combat and old squabbles begin to surface among the noble Goths, a clergy, escorted by a small troop, heads towards the battlefield carrying a relic that could change the course of this battle. It's time to see if its sacred power will be enough to take the victory, or if on the contrary, it will be the kingdom's downfall.

Zoilo Hernández became the first winner of the AWARD FOR HISTORICAL NOVEL OF POZUELO DE ALARCÓN. "José Zoilo is the great discovery of the Spanish historical novel, said the jury composed by Isabel San Sebastián, Antonio Pérez Henares, Almudena de Arteaga, and Juan Eslava Galán.

About the Author: José Zoilo Hernández (Tenerife, 1977) es un biólogo de profesión que trabaja en el ámbito de la agricultura y el desarrollo rural. Aunque su labor profesional ha discurrido por el campo de las ciencias, es un auténtico apasionado de la Historia desde muy temprana edad.
El alano fue su primera novela y con ella inició la épica trilogía, «Las cenizas de Hispania», una apasionante recreación de la Hispania tardorromana. Niebla y acero fue la esperada continuación. Con El Dux del fin del mundo, José Zoilo Hernández pone fin a esta espectacular recreación de un momento decisivo de la historia de la península Ibérica.
