La peregrina (Saga de la Reconquista)

The year is 827. In his small, warlike court, Alfonso II the Chaste, King of Asturias and ally of Charlemagne, receives extraordinary news: in a forest near Iria Flavia, at the edge of the world, the remains of the Apostle James have been discovered. Is such a miracle possible? The king decides to travel to the site to unravel the mystery. The entourage includes nobles embroiled in intrigue, fierce soldiers, Saracen captives, monks guarding murky secrets—a true reflection of that turbulent time, at the heart of which is a king determined to save his kingdom. And riding alongside him is Alana, hoping to find her missing son and unwittingly chronicling the first pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in history.
