About the Book

La fascinante historia de un joven cristiano ciego y la hermana de un rey musulmán que se amaron por encima de credos y fronteras durante la Reconquista, una época marcada por la intolerancia y la violencia 1482. Yago es un muchacho invidente que, junto con su padre, se une a la Corte de los Reyes Católicos, quienes se hallan inmersos en su cruzada contra los infieles. Se han instalado en Sevilla y la cocina de los Reales Alcázares se convierte en su mundo, un presente gris y monótono del que el joven escapa con los ojos de la imaginación. El azar lo llevará a descubrir su verdadera vocación: la música. Pero no todo es amable a su alrededor: Oreste Olivoni, el despótico encargado de las obras del palacio real, siente una profunda animadversión hacia él y hacia su padre, y no duda en ejercer su influencia para hacerles la vida insoportable. Mientras Yago avanza hacia la madurez, los Reyes Católicos prosiguen con su afán de Reconquista. La Guerra de Granada se salda con la captura del rey Boabdil, lo que supone un cambio importante en la vida del joven. Al lado del Sultán, Yago descubre la existencia de otro mundo más allá de las fronteras del reino cristiano, lejos de la terrible amenaza de la Inquisición, y toma la decisión de refugiarse allí. En los sensuales jardines del harén, abiertos para él debido a su condición de invidente, Yago conoce a Nur, la rebelde y bella hermana de Boabdil. Entre ambos surge una atracción incontrolable, arrolladora e incomprendida por todos, pero destinada a perdurar por encima del odio que enfrenta a ambos pueblos. La crítica ha dicho... «Riesco consolida una prometedora trayectoria, sube un peldaño en un oficio que le fascina.» Diario de Sevilla «La escritora trenza con soltura los sucesos enriqueciendo la trama con una sugerente ficción.» La opinión de Málaga «¡No se necesitan marcapáginas! Quien comienza esta novela no deja de leer hasta el final.» Für Sie ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 1482. Yago is a blind boy who joins with his father the Catholic Monarch's entourage, while the crusade against the infidel is held. They have settled down in Seville and the Royal Alcazar's kitchen becomes his world, a grayish and monotonous existence from where the young boy tries to flee, traveling with the eyes of his imagination. Fate will lead him to discover his true vocation: music. However, not everything is friendly around him: Oreste Olivoni, a despotic foreman of the Royal Palace, feels a profound animadversion against him and his father, and does not hesitate to abuse of his influence to make their life unbearable. Meanwhile, Yago walks into his maturity, Catholic Monarchs won't give up their reconquer eagerness. Granada's war and simultaneously Yago's own life suffer an unexpected turn when Boabdil is captured. In the company of the sultan, Yago discovers another world beyond the borders of the Christian Kingdom, far from the terrible threat that presses the Inquisition, and decides to take refuge there. In the sensual harem's gardens, allowed for him due to his impaired vision, Yago meets Nur, Boabdils pretty and rebellious sister. An incontrollable attraction surges between them, overwhelming and misunderstood by everyone, but destined to prevail yonder the hatred that keeps their nations enemies.
