ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A building that defies God to exalt man. A city destined to rule the Mediterranean.
The great historical saga about 15th-century Valencia.
"Ferr ndiz draws parallels with Ken Follett and Ildefonso Falcones." --La Vanguardia
With extraordinary narrative mastery and impeccable documentation, Juan Francisco Ferr ndiz paints a dazzling historical fresco in this novel and pays tribute to a building that hides, among its stones, the great history of a city, a people, and a revolution.
15th century. Valencia has become the most prosperous city in the Mediterranean thanks to merchants arriving from all over the world. For them, one of the most spectacular architectural works ever seen by man is conceived: the Silk Exchange.
A CITY IN ITS GOLDEN AGE.
However, not everyone agrees with building a temple for merchants rather than to honor God. The construction was complicated from the outset in a story full of mystery, corruption, and even murder: a dangerous confrontation between those who accepted that society was changing and those who wanted everything to remain the same.
A FAMILY DESTINED TO MAKE HISTORY.
The young stonemason Joan Ibarra, who will oversee the construction, and his wife Francesca, a woman with a strange gift, must face their ghosts from the past as they star in a story of revenge, passion, and class struggle.
