ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

FIRST THE PEOPLE, THEN THE KING.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SPLENDOR AND SHADOWS OF THE VAST SPANISH EMPIRE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. AN ESSENTIAL NOVEL TO UNDERSTAND SPANISH HISTORY.

In the year 1771, the Spanish Crown extends her vast dominion across both sides of the ocean, ruled by the greatest empire of the time. It is a moment of splendor, but also darkness.

Only eighteen years of age, Jaime leaves Menorca, occupied by the British, to study Navigation in Barcelona. He wants to fight them in the Caribbean, join Charles III's forces, and thus avenge the damage the English caused his family. Meanwhile, in Madrid, Almudena finds herself in a desperate situation due to the repression that followed the Esquilache mutiny.

When they both meet at the capital, she begs Jaime to help her escape. The young man, captivated, accepts, even knowing Almudena is married and helping her could condemn him. Together they set on a passionate and dangerous journey from C diz to Havana, to the fight for American independence, while trying to repress a love as inevitable as it is forbidden.

A great adventure in which both the protagonists and the readers will discover that the true strength of an empire lies not in their rulers, but in the simple people that hold it together.
