«La sombra de Masada» is the historical novel by Javier Arias Artacho, published by Libros Libres in paperback (290 pages, in Spanish).
In AD 72, the troops of Rome, led by Lucius Flavius Silva, besiege Masada, the last stronghold of the Jewish rebellion. Inside, Eleazar ben Yair and his followers wait, determined to resist. Simon, an orphan boy in love with Eleazar's daughter, feels torn between loyalty to his people and a longing for peace; in this context, the prophecy of a Galilean rabbi executed forty years earlier gains strength.
The full title bears the subtitle «El peor enemigo está dentro de la fortaleza»; the first edition of the work appeared in October 2009.
It is aimed at readers of historical fiction and those interested in the Roman Empire and the episode of Masada.
