La ?pica aventura de una mujer y una ni?a en la Europa del siglo IX, un continente arrasado tras la muerte de Carlomagno.

Aquitania, a?o 814. La novicia Elvira es testigo de la muerte en extra?as circunstancias de una dama que acaba de dar a luz a una ni?a en un convento perdido en medio de las monta?as. Esa misma noche, mientras vela su cad?ver, un extra?o las ataca a ella y a la hu?rfana. Asustada, Elvira prende fuego al convento para evitar que nadie las siga y huye con la reci?n nacida. Sin embargo, por mucho que trate de alejarse del peligro, las misteriosas circunstancias que rodean el nacimiento de esa ni?a las perseguir?n hasta los confines del imperio de los francos. En una Europa inestable y en pleno proceso de cambio, podr? una mujer sola descubrir el secreto que esconde el beb? que protege y salvar a ambas de una muerte segura?

Con su nueva novela, Elena ?lvarez ha construido una aventura hist?rica apasionante que es tambi?n un viaje al momento decisivo en el que el Viejo Continente pugn? por salir del oscurantismo de la Alta Edad Media. Una epopeya perfecta, narrada a trav?s de los ojos de unas mujeres que sobreviven en un mundo hostil, que har? las delicias de los amantes de la novela hist?rica.

No matter how hard she tries to keep them safe, however, the mysterious circumstances surrounding the little girl's birth pursue them to the borders of the Frankish kingdom.
