In the spring of 1239, during the reign of Theobald I of Navarre, 183 Cathars are executed at the stake accused of heresy. Friar Robert Lepetit, called 'el Bugre', is responsible for this genocide. After being imprisoned and expelled from the order of the Dominicans, he escapes and begins the journey to Compostela. Throughout this narration, the reader travels the Camino de Santiago through France and Navarre, living with pilgrims, agotes, Cathars, builders and rebellious junteros. A story where love, passion, crime and ancient beliefs intertwine with devotion, politics and the harshness of a real era.
