DESCRIPTION:
In the Year of Our Lord 1168, the Kingdom of Galicia and León stands as a wedge between Portugal’s ambition and Castile’s greed.
The three crowns trust no one. They circle one another, daggers drawn. The old treaties that once divided the reconquered lands of the south have crumbled to dust, their promises scattered to the winds. And while Christendom turns its swords against itself, a new threat has risen beyond the Strait of Gibraltar: the Almohads, the Unitarians, the true believers.
Al-Andalus drowns in blood. In Compostela, the cathedral of the Son of Zebedee—beacon of Christendom, the Jerusalem of the West—still rises stone by stone…
But it will never be finished.
