El camino enterrado
Serrano, Carlos (1995- )
Year 827 AD C. Gastón de Lyon is a war veteran plagued by guilt and regret. He fought during his youth under the Emperor of the Franks, and the victims of his sword strive every night to remind him of his crimes. His soul is cursed for it, and not even the Church and his council have been able to heal it. Retired in a monastery next to the Rhone, near the convent where Gala, his only daughter, lives, Gastón understands that the clergy will never be able to help him, and he decides to go away with the girl. The question is where he will be able to achieve her redemption, and in the mouths of healers, heretics and Jews appears the name of a secret path that father and daughter will follow towards the shores of the end of the world. Toulouse, Bordeaux, the castle of Gauzón, the tower of Hercules and Lisbon will appear on the way, but the goal is Iria Flavia, where the dead rest and the tomb of the only apostle who can end the warrior's curse. The buried path addresses the discovery of the tomb of the Apostle Santiago in Galicia and the beginning of the Christian pilgrimage to Compostela. The pillars of the event go back a long way, and along the way names such as Prisciliano and a pagan dregs that can never be completely buried will appear. The path was born long before the discovery of the tomb, and only those who were holders of that knowledge could find the truth and forgiveness.
