ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first historical novel by the
author of El Castillo / The Castle,
set in the chaotic era of the Battle of Lepanto.


It is the year 1560, Alejandro
Farnesio, Prince of Parma, goes to study at the University of Alcal de
Henares in Spain, where he crosses paths with Prince Carlos, heir to the
Spanish throne, and with Don Juan de Austria, Felipe II's legitimate brother.


These are bad times for Spain,
threatened by rebellious Muslims in Granada, religious heretics in Flanders
and in England and, most importantly, an ongoing fight against the Turks for
control of the Mediterranean Sea.


These are exciting times that
resulted in the Battle of Lepanto, where legend has it there was so much blood
spilled, that the sea was dyed red.

incredibly simple to read. Highly recommended." -Hislibris
