About the Book

Una novela que nos cuenta un momento crucial de la historia de la Península.

Barcinona, actual Barcelona, año 415. Clodia, una dama de la aristocracia, vive con gran intensidad tanto su amor a la Historia y a los libros como su odio a la sociedad patriarcal romana y al triunfo del cristianismo. Lucha por sus libertades, se recluye en su biblioteca, vive romances y disfruta del sexo más allá de su odioso esposo Minicio. Todo eso le permite respirar en la asfixiante mediocridad de un entorno lleno de hipocresía y recelos.

Es en ese ambiente de fiestas y falsas apariencias donde irrumpen los godos, que se asientan por primera vez en Hispania, alterando el orden marcado por Roma. Mientras los poderosos locales intentan sobrevivir al cambio de época y los líderes godos hacen frente a sus rivalidades, una serie de muertes dentro de los muros de Barcinona, entre ellas la del rey Ataúlfo, inquieta cada vez más a sus habitantes. Corren tiempos convulsos y cualquiera puede ser el asesino.

El choque entre romanos y godos, el ansia de libertad de Clodia, el ascenso del cristianismo y las intrigas de poder introducen al lector en este fascinante thriller histórico que es, al mismo tiempo, un gran fresco literario sobre la ambición y las traiciones.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel that narates a crucial moment in the history of the Peninsula.

Barcinona, current Barcelona, year 415. Clodia, an aristocrat lady, lives with great intensity both her love for history and books and her hatred for Roman patriarchal society and the triumph of Christianity. She fights for her freedoms, she confines herself in her library, lives passionate romances, and enjoys sex with anyone that is not her hateful husband Minicio. All of this allows her to breathe in a suffocating mediocre environment full of hypocrisy and misgivings.

It is in this joyful ambiance of festivals and false appearances that the Goths break into, settling in for the first time in Hispania, altering all order set forth by Rome. While the powerful locals try to survive the change of era and the Goth leaders face their rivals, a series of deaths within the walls of Barcinona, including that of King Ataulfo, increasingly worry its citizens. These are troubling times and anyone can be the murderer.

The clash between Romans and Goths, Clodia's desire for freedom, the rise of Christianity, and power conspiracies introduce the reader to this fascinating historical thriller that is also a great literary fresco about ambition and betrayals.
