Although this is a novel, all dates and names of individuals are historical facts. The work encompasses some of Iberia's most turbulent periods from the 5th to the 16 th century. The novel not only highlights the chaotic period after the collapse of the Roman Empire in 473 A.C.,it also refers in detail to their Visigoth successors, overthrown after two hundred and fifty years by Berbers from north Africa.
