El color del Imperio

El color del Imperio

Serrahima, Ignasi

Catalonia, 15th century. Alamanda, sold as a slave by her own father when she was still just a child, discovers in the library of the Sant Benet monastery, between the shelves of forbidden books, the secret of the most wonderful color that humanity has ever been able to create: purple. Symbol of emperors, popes and kings, a thousand times more expensive than gold, purple was the forger of commercial empires in ancient times, but the technique of obtaining this pigment was inexplicably lost in the mist of time. Only a girl will be able to restore the color of the Empire to the world. From walled and guild Barcelona to thriving Venice, from ostentatious and decadent Constantinople to the ruins of Tire, the epic journey and success of a single woman in a man's world astonishes the world and places her at the center of intrigues of the powerful.
