«El rey del invierno» is the historical novel by Bernard Cornwell, published by Ediciones Península in hardback (400 pages, in Spanish).
In fifth-century Britain, with the memory of Rome already distant and Christianity gaining ground over the pagan gods, the death of Uther Pendragon leaves the throne vacant. Arthur, an exiled illegitimate son, returns to unite the kingdoms and halt the Saxons, in a tale of political and religious struggles, loyalty, love and war.
First instalment of the trilogy «Crónicas del señor de la guerra», completed by «El enemigo de Dios» and «Excalibur»; translation by Concepció Cardeñoso Saenz de Miera.
For fans of historical fiction and the legend of King Arthur, with a realistic, warlike setting, far from the romantic tone.
Bernard Cornwell is an English author of historical novels and a history of the Waterloo campaign. He is best known for his long-running series of novels about Napoleonic Wars rifleman Richard Sharpe. He has also written The Saxon Stories, a series of thirteen novels about the unification of England.
