GANADORA PREMIO «LOS CERROS DE ÚBEDA» A LA MEJOR NOVELA PUBLICADA EN EL AÑO 2018

The year is 859. A Viking fleet sails to Seville, one of the wealthiest cities of the time, with the goal of plundering and destroying it. However, the attempt ends in failure, and the northern warriors are captured by the city’s governor, who demands an exorbitant ransom for their release.

When the news reaches their village, the women refuse to surrender. Along with some children and slaves, they hire a small group of mercenaries to teach them how to fight. A year later, the rescue expedition will be ready to set sail. It seems an impossible mission, one that from the start is fraught with misfortune and adversity.

An adventure novel that reveals the most human side of Viking civilization—dazzling yet terrifying—through a daring raid that reached our shores.
