Sin alma
la gesta de Simón de Montfort
Roa, Sebastián
1206. After three years in a dungeon in the Syrian desert, Simon de Montfort returns to Normandy. But the price for freedom has been the renunciation of his own soul, the commission of a horrible act whose consequences will haunt him beyond life, throughout eternity. Eager to reach his humble country manor, Simon travels through a changing, tempting world, until he is reunited with his chaste wife, Alix de Montmorency, and with a home that no longer seems like his own. Bad fortune, remorse, a fall from grace and the imminent war between France and England sink Simón and Alix deeper and deeper every day. Although his destiny is not to disappear from history, but to shine in the fight against heresy. Thus, the search for redemption will take them from Normandy to the south of France, to a land plagued by chaos, violence and religious rupture. To a divided society, sown with so much hatred that a copious harvest of pain and death is expected. A war in which Simón de Montfort will have to face an undefeated king. Simón de Montfort, comparable to the Cid in his brilliant military career, is a medieval example of a great warrior and effective commander, despite everything reviled by history, and branded as fanatic and bloodthirsty.
