Hierro y sangre

The 10th century is coming to an end, a capricious and libertine adolescent sits on the papal throne, the rest of Italy is bleeding to death in infighting and the fields are a no-man's-land where the law of the fittest is imposed. When the fame of the extraordinary beauty of Anna, the fifteen-year-old daughter of a poor peasant family, reaches the ears of the young Pope John over her home, the threat of a cruel lord looms who tries to sell her as a slave in the depraved Roman court. Although she manages to escape her fate, Anna witnesses how the rest of her family is massacred and her brother Martello is captured. At that moment, the young woman decides that she will do whatever it takes to rescue him and, with an untamed determination, she starts from her in search of her in a hostile and brutal world. On her way, she will meet a knight with a dark past and an even more mysterious present, an old scholar of unsuspected resources, and a cheerful and fearless young man. A strange company with which Anna will try to reach the most secret palaces of Rome, ready to find her brother and exert her revenge.
