Overview
LA GRAN NOVELA SOBRE EL ASCENSO AL PODER DE ALARICO, EL REY GODO QUE ACABÓ CON ROMA.
UN IMPERIO EN DECADENCIA.
UN PUEBLO HUMILLADO Y CON SED DE VENGANZA.
BATALLAS, LUCHAS DE PODER Y TRAICIONES EN UN SIGLO CRUCIAL PARA EL DEVENIR DE LA HISTORIA.
363 d.C. Tras la batalla de Ctesifonte, Marco Probo decide instalarse en la Dacia, un territorio ocupado por los godos al norte de la frontera del Danubio. Allí, gracias a su trayectoria como militar y filósofo, se convierte en el primer preceptor de Alarico, cuyo nacimiento durante un eclipse ha despertado la leyenda de que será él quien consiga unir a la nación goda y formar el imperio más grande jamás conocido.
Sin embargo, Alarico pronto se ve separado de los suyos cuando, tras una cruenta guerra, el emperador Valente impone unas humillantes condiciones al pueblo godo, que pide desperado refugio ante la amenaza de los hunos. Junto con los hijos de otros cincuenta caudillos godos, Alarico es tomado como rehén por el imperio y debe vivir exiliado en Alejandría, Atenas y Constantinopla, ciudades donde será educado entre filósofos. Estos años marcarán su amor por Roma, pero también le convertirán en el más temible de sus enemigos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONS
A GREAT NOVEL ABOUT ALARIC’S RISE TO POWER, THE GOTH KING WHO ENDED ROME.
AN EMPIRE IN DECAY.
THE THIRST FOR REVENGE OF AN ENTIRE PEOPLE ONCE HUMILIATED
BATTLES, POWER STRUGGLES, AND BETRAYALS DURING A CENTURY THAT WAS CRUCIAL TO HISTORY.
363 AD. After the battle of Ctesiphon, Marco Probo decided to settle in Dacia, a territory occupied by the Goths north of the Danube border. Once there, due to his career as a soldier and philosopher, he became the first tutor of Alaric, who was born during an eclipse, an event that sparked the myth of him being the one to unite the Goth’s nation and form the largest empire ever known.
However, Alaric will soon be separated from his family when Emperor Valens imposes humiliating conditions on the Goths after a bloody war, who were desperately asking for refuge from the Huns. That is why, along with the sons of fifty other Goth leaders, Alaric is taken hostage by the Empire and continues his life in exile in Alexandria, Athens, and Constantinople, cities where he will be educated among philosophers. These formative years will mark his love for Rome, but they will also make him the most feared amongst his enemies.
