A spell-binding drama of love, war, greed and revenge in medieval Barcelona.
A young serf in 14th century Spain, Arnau is on the run form his feudal lord. Through famine, plague and thwarted love he struggles to earn his freedom in the shadow of the mighty Cathedral of the Sea: a magnificent church being buit by the humblest citizens of the city.
Arnau's fortunes begin to turn when King Pedro makes him a baron in reward for his courage in battle. But his new-found wealth excites the jealousy of his friends, who begin to plot against him, with devastating consequences.
'A powerful historical saga set in 14th century Barcelona that spans slavery, serfdom and anti-Semitism, friendship and thwarted love.' Choice (Book of the Month)
