A BATTLEFIELD THAT WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE HISTORY OF EUROPE.

A LAND WITHOUT CROWN OR FAITH.

A MONARCH WITH A DREAM.

AN ERA THAT WILL TRANSFORM EUROPE FOREVER.

13th century. North of the Pyrenees, Languedoc—a land without a king or Christianity—became the battlefield that would reshape European history. The armies of the Crusade were summoned by the Pope under the pretext of eradicating the Cathar heresy, but their true objective lay far from faith: to destroy the dream of Peter II, the great Crown of Aragon.

The siege of Carcassonne, the epic confrontation at Las Navas de Tolosa, and the decisive Battle of Muret are some of the thrilling settings that dictated the fate of a throne and a king who had to choose between his faith, his ambition, and his vassals.

In a vivid panorama of characters revealing tension, intrigue, and even love that can bloom in times of war, Luis Zueco narrates one of the most decisive episodes in the history of medieval Europe and the Crown of Aragon.
