In the twelfth century, Leola, a young peasant woman, dresses in the armour of a dead warrior and passes herself off as a man. The novel follows her journey through an unknown Middle Ages, with fantastical elements, and turns her adventure into a mirror of the modern world: an epic tale about identity, fear and freedom.

It is aimed at readers of historical fiction and Spanish narrative, especially those who appreciate female protagonists.
