Book Synopsis
UN REINO SOMETIDO A UN ASEDIO CONSTANTE. UN MONARCA ATORMENTADO POR LAS DUDAS. UNA NOVELA FASCINANTE SOBRE EL ÚLTIMO REY DE SU DINASTÍA Y LA BATALLA MÁS DECISIVA DE NUESTRA HISTORIA MEDIEVAL. Navarra, 1194. Sancho VII, conocido como El Fuerte por su gigantesca envergadura, asciende al trono anhelando seguir los pasos de su padre y defender su tierra de la amenaza de los reinos vecinos, Castilla y Aragón. Sin embargo, cuando el ataque de sus enemigos se recrudece, Sancho debe emprender un camino difícil: alcanzar un pacto con quienes se oponen a su fe. Mientras en Vitoria, cercada por las tropas de Alfonso VIII de Castilla, se libra un feroz asedio, el monarca toma una decisión con la que busca revertir el destino de su pueblo. Esta resolución desesperada perseguirá al nuevo monarca hasta el fin de sus días y lo sumirá en una espiral de rencor y sospechas, de la que solo resurgirá participando en la batalla más épica de su tiempo: la de Las Navas de Tolosa. Iñaki Zugarrondo nos transporta a uno de los reinados más controvertidos de la historia de Navarra mediante un nutrido abanico de personajes, contiendas feroces, espionajes, intrigas de poder y un protagonista tan complejo como incomprendido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A KINGDOM UNDER CONSTANT SIEGE. A MONARCH TORMENTED BY DOUBTS. A FASCINATING NOVEL ABOUT THE END OF A DYNASTY AND A TURNING POINT IN SPANISH MEDIEVAL HISTORY. Navarre, 1194. Sancho VII, known as the Strong for his imposing height, ascends the throne eager to follow in the footsteps of his father and defend his land from the neighboring kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. As these threats mount, Sancho wrestles with the prospect of allying with the enemies of his faith to save his kingdom. With the Castilian forces of Alfonso VIII surrounding Vitoria, he sees no choice. This desperate decision will haunt the new monarch until the end of his days and lead to a spiral of resentment and suspicion. The only way to save his reputation is to join the most epic confrontation of his times: the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. Iñaki Zugarrondo transports us to one of the most controversial periods in the history of Navarre, featuring a colorful cast of characters, deadly combat, espionage, intrigue, and a protagonist as complex as he is misunderstood."About the Author
