Escac al destí

A cry in the dark goes unnoticed in the castle. The next morning a corpse is discovered, whose identity may endanger the dynasty of the kingdom of Magens. The young priest Orenç is in charge of investigating the murder. His status as a bastard of King Ebrard of Albir places him close to the circles of power. But the task is more than dangerous: any wrong step can cause you to fall into a web of internal struggles, passions and unbridled ambitions. Treachery stalks the Albir house. Rome's aspirations to maintain religious status in the area against the Albicar heresy cloud the political fabric. And war seems inevitable. Orenç will only be able to count on Brilhèta, a palace servant who will discover for him a world that the young and inexperienced religious does not know. But each step in the investigation is one more stepping stone that brings you closer to an uncomfortable truth.
