Agmat : El exilio del rey poeta

Chained in a hostile land, Al-Mu'tamid, former ruler of Seville, retraces the path that led him from absolute power to ruin. Heir to a dynasty forged in intrigue and violence, he ruled a brilliant and ruthless kingdom. A refined poet and implacable monarch, he protected scholars and artists while conquering territories, eliminating rivals, and defying both Christian kings and fanatical clergy. Seville grew, prospered, and became the heart of Al-Andalus under his rule. But the balance was shattered. Internal conspiracies, military pressure, and the arrival of harsher, more dogmatic forces precipitated the kingdom's downfall. The city was taken, his family scattered, his children murdered or enslaved. The poet-king ended up a prisoner, far from everything he had built. From captivity, Al-Mu'tamid recalls battles, betrayals, and loves, aware that every victory carried within it the seeds of defeat. This novel tells the story of the rise and fall of a man who had it all and lost it all, and of a world where power and beauty always walked on the edge of the abyss.
