La dama de Jacobsland

Santos, Mercedes

Jacobsland, year 968. Nunilo Fáñez, countess of Breixos, inherits some rich properties on the Galician coast, and knows that she must choose a husband among the northern Clarnes. These are difficult times. There are continuous wars on the border of al-Andalus and the attacks of the Vikings have multiplied. The route to Jacobslad is in danger, and with it, the influx of gold and tribute. Therefore, when Nunilo asks for freedom of choice for her marriage, Princess Elvira, an old nun who rules with an iron fist in the name of the child king Ramiro III, grants him only one year. They need the support of the northerners, and Nunilo must abide by her destiny, despite the head of those clans and despite suspicions that she is conspiring against the Crown itself. Meanwhile, in Dyyflin, King Gondrod has accepted the proposal of his most controversial berserker, Olaf the Black, and they are already preparing a new departure for the Galician coast, a brutal incursion with a fleet never seen before. Then she will start everything: the kidnapping of women to populate Hibernia, the heroic resistance of Compostela, the ceremonies in the forests, the longships ravaging the bay of Adobria... And Nunilo will be the key.
