ÓRICO: PREMIO HISLIBRIS 2022 A MEJOR NOVELA Y MEJOR AUTOR ESPAÑOL

«Me quedé despierto hasta las cinco de la madrugada porque necesitaba saber cómo acababa. Una de las mejores novelas que he leído en mi vida. -- Juan Gómez-Jurado

Una historia épica de asesinatos, espionaje y grandes batallas en la época del emperador Marco Aurelio.

Corren tiempos de venganza en la frontera germana del Danubio.

Año 171 d.C. Al mando de diez legiones, el emperador Marco Aurelio se dirige al norte dispuesto a derrotar a los bárbaros. Para él solo hay dos opciones: paz romana o muerte.

Pero el horror no solo habita en el frente.

En su ausencia, el emperador encarga la protección de Carnuntum al general Jano Convector, su mano derecha. Sin embargo, lo que parecía ser una misión pacífica se convierte en un infierno cuando Jano tenga que hacer frente a una serie de crímenes y a una red de espionaje que parece estar cerrando un círculo de muerte alrededor de Marco Aurelio.

En esta historia, cada minuto vivido puede ser el último.

Pero alguien más se mueve en las sombras de la noche. Encomendada por su rey, Tamura, una guerrera sármata, llega a la ciudad con la intención de firmar la paz para su pueblo. Pronto quedará envuelta en las intrigas de la ciudad y se verá obligada a entablar peligrosas amistades. A veces, el peor de los enemigos puede ser el mejor de los aliados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A POWERFUL NEW VOICE IN HISTORICAL FICTION: WINNER OF THE HISLIBRIS PRIZE FOR BEST NOVEL AND BEST SPANISH AUTHOR OF 2022

An epic tale of assassination, espionage and crucial battles during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

Along the shores of the Danube, marking the frontier of Rome's Germanic enemies, the times call for revenge.

The year is 171 A.D. Emperor Marcus Aurelius is leading ten legions north to defeat the barbarians. Only two options are on the table: Pax Romana or death.

But the horrors of war aren't limited to the front.

In his absence, the emperor has entrusted the protection of Carnuntum, in modern-day Austria, to his right-hand man, General Janus Convector. What seems to be a peaceful mission, however, becomes an inferno when Janus confronts a wave of bloody crimes and a network of spies closing-in a deadly circle around Marcus Aurelius.

For the characters in this story, every moment they live could be their last.

But someone else is traveling under the cover of the night. Tamura, a Sarmatian warrioress, has been sent by her king to bring peace to her people. Caught up in the city's intrigue, she must make a series of dangerous partnerships. Sometimes, one's worst enemy can be the best ally.
