Summary

Una deslumbrante epopeya histórica que nos traslada a la floreciente y peligrosa Europa del siglo XIII a través de una expedición comercial que deberá enfrentarse a las amenazas del mar y de la tierra pero, sobre todo, a la codicia de los hombres.

Varennes Saint-Jacques, 1260. Tras un trágico revés familiar y económico, los hermanos Balian y Blanche Fleury, descendientes de una antaño próspera familia de Varennes Saint-Jacques, deciden embarcarse en una arriesgada expedición comercial a la remota isla de Gotland. Su objetivo primordial es mantener a toda costa el negocio de sus antepasados, pero su juventud también les empuja a la búsqueda constante de aventuras y a la persecución del amor. Ingenuos y apasionados, ambos ignoran que frente a ellos se alzan los poderosos Rapesulver, un clan de comerciantes sin escrúpulos que hará todo lo posible para conservar su indiscutida hegemonía en las frías aguas del Báltico.

Con esta maravillosa novela histórica, Daniel Wolf nos sumerge en las procelosas aguas de una epopeya espléndida al tiempo que nos seduce con unos personajes excelentes, un estilo propio y cuidado y una trama magistral.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dazzling historical epic novel that takes us to the flourishing and dangerous Europe of the 13th century through a commercial expedition that must face the perils from land, sea, and above all, from men’s greed.
 
Varennes Saint-Jacques, 1260. After a tragic family and economic setback, the two brothers Balian and Blanche Fleury, heirs of a once prosperous family, decide to embark on a risky commercial expedition to the remote island of Gotland. Their main goal is to maintain their family business at all cost, but their youth pushes them to a constant search for adventure and a pursuit of love. Naive and passionate, neither realize that the powerful Rapesulver are gaining power right in front of them; they are a clan of corrupt and unscrupulous merchants who will do everything possible to preserve their undisputed domination in the cold waters of the Baltic Sea.
 
With this wonderful historical work, Daniel Wolf immerses us in the stormy waters of a splendid epic novel while at the same time he introduces us to excellent characters, a unique and caring writing style, and a masterful plot.
