Book Synopsis



Tras conquistar a más de 400.000 lectores, vuelve el autor del gran best seller LA TUMBA DE COLÓN.

UN VIAJE HACIA LO DESCONOCIDO.

UNA CIUDAD EN CONSTRUCCIÓN.

LA ARRIESGADA AVENTURA DE UNAS MUJERES QUE SE ATREVIERON A SOÑAR CON UN NUEVO MUNDO.

1498. En pocos años, Santo Domingo se convierte en una espectacular urbe que crece inmersa en un bullicio constante. A su puerto llegan aventureros de toda Europa atraídos por las promesas de abundancia y, por primera vez, ha atracado un barco repleto de mujeres. Muchas han cruzado el océano para reunirse con sus maridos, casarse con conquistadores o forjar una nueva vida. Pero en esa expedición también viaja Jimena, quien ha embarcado con un propósito muy distinto.

Durante la travesía, la joven ha trabado amistad con otras tres mujeres y se han hecho un juramento. Cuando en la isla las aceche el peligro, no solo tendrán que demostrar su arrojo y tesón, sino también confiar en su promesa: ayudarse las unas a las otras para sobrevivir en la primera ciudad del Nuevo Mundo.

Intriga, historia, amor y aventuras se unen en esta apasionante novela ambientada en los años posteriores a la llegada de Colón a América. Con una narrativa dinámica y llena de acción, Miguel Ruiz Montañez nos brinda un relato histórico absorbente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The bestselling author of LA TUMBA DE COLÓN is back after gaining a following of more than 400,000 readers.

A JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN.

A CITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THE PERILOUS ADVENTURE OF A GROUP OF A GROUP OF WOMEN WHO DARED TO DREAM OF A NEW WORLD.

1498. In just a few years, Santo Domingo has become a spectacular city bustling with growth. Its port attracts adventurers from across Europe, lured by promises of wealth. For the first time, the newcomers include a ship full of women. Many of crossed the ocean to join their husbands, marry conquistadors or start new lives. Also among the passengers, however, is Jimena, who has made the voyage to pursue a very different purpose.

At sea, she befriended three other women, and they have sworn a joint oath. Now, with danger closing in on the island, they must not only demonstrate their strength and bravery, but also uphold the promise they made on board the ship: to help each other survive in Spain's first New World colony.

Intrigue, history, love and adventure combine in this fascinating novel set just after Columbus's arrival in the Americas. With this action-packed and dynamic narrative, Miguel Ruiz Montañez creates an absorbing historical epic.
