En una �poca oscura, marcada por la infamia y la superstici�n, solo lo m�s valientes clamar�n justicia. Una magistral novela hist�rica ambientada en la Barcelona del s.XII en la que Juan Francisco Ferr�ndiz, autor de La tierra maldita , nos brinda acci�n, aventuras, traiciones, misterio y amor. En una g�lida ma�ana de 1170, un juicio cruel sella los destinos de dos familias enfrentadas por la avaricia y los usos feudales. Seg�n marca la tradici�n, los primog�nitos de las dos casas, de apenas meses de edad, deben ser sumergidos en agua helada. El que se hunda ser� el escogido de Dios, y eso dar� la raz�n a su familia. Tras el lastimoso evento, Blanca, la hija del noble Ram�n de Corviu, resulta elegida, y Robert de Tramontana, el Condenado, tiene que ver durante a�os c�mo los vencedores se apoderan de todas sus posesiones. Pero, en esos instantes en que ambos lucharon por sobrevivir, naci� entre ellos una uni�n especial e inquebrantable. Y a la vez, en el alma del perdedor germin� el deseo de alcanzar un mundo m�s justo, alejado de las supersticiones. A�os despu�s, el joven Robert abandona sus tierras para dedicarse al estudio de las leyes en Barcelona y en la lejana Bolonia, mientras combate contra el odio y las traiciones de sus enemigos. El hallazgo de un antiguo libro lo convierte en pionero de una gran renovaci�n y no est� solo en la lucha; en su coraz�n viaja siempre el recuerdo de Blanca, la joven con quien comparti� el infame juicio del agua. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In a dark age, marked by infamy and superstition, only the bravest will find justice. A masterful historical novel set in 12th century Barcelona in which Juan Francisco Ferr�ndiz, author of La tierra maldita / The Cursed Land , brings us action, adventure, betrayal, mystery, and love. On a frigid morning in 1170, a cruel verdict seals the fates of two families faced by greed and by feudal and outdated customs. According to tradition, the first-born of the two houses, barely months old, must be submerged in ice-cold water. The one who sinks will be God's chosen, and in that way proving their family was right. After the sad and painful event, Blanca, the daughter of noble Ram�n de Corviu, is the chosen one, and Robert de Tramontana, the Condemned, has to witness how, for years, the victors seized all his possessions. But, in those moments when both fought to survive, a special and unbreakable bond was born between them. Years later young Robert left his lands in search of a more fair and just world, he went to study law in Barcelona and Bologna. There, the discovery of an old book makes him a pioneer of a great renovation and he is not alone in the struggle; the memory of Blanca will always have a special place in his heart.
