El juicio del agua

On a frigid morning in 1170, a cruel trial sealed the fates of two families pitted against each other by greed and feudal customs. According to tradition, the firstborn children of the two houses, barely months old, were to be submerged in icy water. The one who sank would be God's chosen one, and that would vindicate their family. After the pitiful event, Blanca, the daughter of the nobleman Ramón de Corviu, was chosen, and Robert de Tramontana, the Condemned, had to watch for years as the victors seized all his possessions. But in those moments when they both fought for survival, a special and unbreakable bond was forged between them. And at the same time, in the soul of the loser, the desire for a more just world, free from superstition, took root. Years later, young Robert leaves his homeland to study law in Barcelona and distant Bologna, while battling the hatred and betrayals of his enemies. The discovery of an ancient book makes him a pioneer of a great renewal, and he is not alone in the fight; in his heart always travels the memory of Blanca, the young woman with whom he shared the infamous water trial.
